The Prince of Egypt

'My son, there is nothing I can give you. I can only pray that you will live. I hope that we'll meet again.' Yocheved carefully placed her baby in the basket. She looked at him for one last time.

     The Hebrew slaves lived in a village in the eastern part of Egypt. They had to work hard to build the big palaces and temples of Egypt. But one day, soldiers began searching for babies. They obeyed the law made by Pharaoh to kill every Hebrew baby boy. So Yocheved made a decision to place her baby to a safe place. Before saying goodbye, she began to sing a lullaby.
'Hush now, my baby
Be still, love, don't cry.
Sleep as you're rocked by the stream.
Sleep and remember
My last lullaby
So I'll be with you when you dream...' 


     Moses grew up as a prince in Pharaoh's place. And he had a brother who would be the next Pharaoh. There was perfect harmony between the two brothers. After the palace dinner, Moses met a young woman. But he didn't know she was his sister, Miriam. And the young man with her was Aaron, his brother. Miriam was surprised that her brother was still alive. Moses didn't believe Miriam's words until she began to sing a lullaby. Moses was sad and worried, because he seemed to remember the lullaby. Do you think Moses will get back home the palace? Or will he leave the palace, live with her family?
