My Baby is a Little Lamb

Cat tells marvelous stories and I hope I can do one justice!

A friend of hers was pregnant and was just about to deliver the baby so she asked Cat if she would come with her to help and provide moral support.  To Cat, there was no question of the answer and she immediately agreed.

Her friend had also asked her husband and a midwife to be there so the four of them were passing the time at her friend's home waiting for labor to increase.  This was all very pleasant as they told stories to each other and were relaxing in the pleasure of knowing a new life was about to come.

After some hours her friend got a bit uncomfortable and asked if she could take a bath.  Of course Cat immediately drew one for her and her friend slipped right into it.  This was wonderfully relaxing too but only for a while.  It wasn't too long before her friend said the water was too hot and now she didn't know what to do.  Running cold water just made her more uncomfortable so they needed another solution.

Cat wasn't sure what to do so she said she would go outside the room to find some way to help her friend feel better.

But she didn't have any luck in finding anything.

Cat isn't one to give up so she kept looking and instead found a freezer so she thought perhaps she could find some ice cubes to put in the water.

When she got back to the room, everyone in there right away started laughing!  Cat asked what is the problem as have I not solved the problem?

The reason they were laughing is that she had brought back a leg of lamb because it was all she could find!

Even though they thought the solution was funny, they used it and the frozen leg of lamb really did cool her when they put it to her forehead.  That made everyone laugh all the more to see her with a leg of lamb on her head but the delivery went very well not so long after that and the Leg of Lamb Baby is now about eighteen years old.

While ice cubes would also have worked if Cat could have found them, there was another benefit to using the leg of lamb.  Cooling her friend with the leg of lamb defrosted it and all of them had it for dinner the next day!
