    One day when the Holy Family were flying(?) into Egypt they knocked at robber's cave, for some food, and for a nights rest. Our Lady asked the robbers wife had she a cot for Jesus to sleep on. The woman said she had only one and that her crippled baby was in it. She took the baby, and kept him in her arms, and left. Our Lady put her Infant into it.
