Oneday when Mrs. Rumphuis had a big fat, tummy, when she was resting in her chamber, the doorbell rang.  Her servent Alice went to the door.  Johnny Appleseed, his wife Violet and their song David came.  Alice said, "Miss Rumphius is in her room." They went to her room.  "Hello," said Johnny, "havin' a baby?"  "Looks like it." said Violet. "That's true." said Alice and David.  "Well..." said Mrs. Rumphuis feeling a baby kicking her stomach.  Mr. Vivaldi another servent came in saying, "Yes she is."The kicking became harder.  The kicking was so hard a baby fell out of Mrs. Rumphius Belly! "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" shouted all of them. Mrs. Bernstein, Mr. Bernstein, Mr. Rumphius and their daughter Lisa came running in.  "What's the matter?" they all said puzzled.  Then they saw the baby!  They fainted all at once. Mrs. Rumphius' stomach was ripped!  But soon her stomach flattened.  "I can't believe my eyes!" There eyes widened.  Lisa said, "I'll take a look at her fingerprint."  Then she said, "Name her Sue.  Her finger says SUE."  Soon everybody was pulling her finger. "STOP!" she yelled.  David said, "Is this a baby????" Everybody froze.  Nobody ever heard a baby that could talk after it was born 2 seconds ago.  How would there be a baby like this?  I couldn't believe it either.  Oh, my, Oh, my, baby.  You wouldn't want a baby like this.
