Charms and Lullabies

• Rock-a-bye Baby
• I will be turning this nursery rhyme into a story of its own
• The baby and mother will have been blown up into a tree
• a tornado? might have blown them up there
• the baby obviously starts to cry
• the wind starts to blow
• the baby is still in its cradle 
• the wind begins to blow the cradle 
• the mom starts to sing the nursery rhyme to the baby
• all of a sudden the cradle with the baby in it and the mother fall
• they land safely at the bottom of the tree
