How Baby Moses Was Saved

There is a little baby crying and holding onto te lady's finger.  This is Moses.  Do you know who the pretty lady is?  She is an Egyptian princess, Phar'aoh's own daughter.

Moses' mother hid her baby until he was three months 0ld, because she did not want him to be killed by the Egyptians. But she knew that Moses might be found, so this is what she did to save him. 

She took a basket and fixed it so that no water would leak in. Then she put Moses into it, and placed the basked into the tall grass along the Nile River. Moses' sister, Mir'i-am, was told to stand nearby and see what would happen.

Phar'aoh's daughter came down to the Nile River to bathe. Suddenly she saw the basket in the tall grass. She called to one of her servant girls:  'Go get that basket for me.'  When the princess opened the basket, what a beautiful baby she saw!  Little Moses  was crying, and the princess felt sorry for him. She didn't want to have him killed.
