THE BABY IN RED.
THE BABY IN RED
This is said to be a true story. It happened in the late 50s.
Long ago in a poor province in china, lived a farmer and his wife. They wanted very much to have a child; the wife went to the temple every day to pray for a child.
In her mid forties, she did have a son; they were so happy and loved him very much. The neighbours were happy for them too. One day when the baby was 4 months old, the neighbours suggested to baby sit and give the couple a break.
So the couple went to the city for shopping and have some free time together. When they got back and asked for the baby, no one knew where he was.
Each one saying they thought some one had him but not sure who, after all, this was only a small village and they were sure to find the baby.
By night fall, no baby was found. The distraught couple could not eat or sleep, the wife crying and wailing the whole night.
The next day, a report was made to the local police, but for 3 days there was no news, the whole neighbour hood was very up set over the incident.
On the 4th night the wife had a dream, in the dream, her son told her to go to a certain railway station at a certain time to look for him. He told his mother he was covered with a red blanket with a gold dragon sewn on it.
Upon waking she told her husband about the dream, her husband said, ‘our son is only 4 months old, how can he speak’. But to please her, they went to the railway station with some friends.
At that certain time, with the help of his friends, they did find a couple with a baby wrapped in a red blanket with a gold dragon sewn on it.
Screaming and crying, demanding to have her baby back, the police were alerted and all were taken to the police station. There, each was questioned by the police.
The police asked the farmer and his wife, ‘how do you know this is your baby? She replied, ‘my son has a mole behind his left ear and 2 moles on the sole of his right foot.’
When the blanket was opened, every one knew the baby was dead, he was very pale and had blood on his stomach. After close examination by a doctor, it was indeed their baby .
It was said that the couple stole the baby, killed him and stuffed his body with drugs to smuggle out of the country.
What the couple could not understand was how this farmer knew where and when to find his son.
After the farmer and his wife buried their son, she had another dream, her son told her, ‘our life together was sweet and short, but it was not meant to be, I came to you because I didn’t want to be a drifting ghost. I wanted to be remembered and loved’.
So as years went by, it was said that those who were barren and wanted children, they went to his grave to pray and the following the year they did have a child.
Although the farmer and his wife never had any more children, they were always glad when they hear that others do have children.
Ends.
The Chinese always believed that when you die, you must have a resting place, and you must have your whole body to be reincarnated, or you’ll be a hungry drifting ghost.
