Mary Actually Had a Little Lamb
Everyone knows the nursery rhyme "Mary Had A Little Lamb," but you
probably didn't know this was based on true story. Her name was Mary
Sawyer. She was an 11-year-old girl and lived in Boston and one day was
followed to school by her pet lamb. In the late 1860s, she helped raise
money for an old church by selling wool from the lamb.
Didn't know that, thanks for sharing.

Many of the old nursery rhymes ARE based on truth.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that - interesting. Hope the mean ones aren't true.
ReplyDeleteThat warmed my heart!
ReplyDeleteI did not know it was based on truth and now I'm wondering if the lamb stayed there all day waiting for her or did it wander off and lose itself?
ReplyDeleteShe sound like a lovely person.
