One of the most famous nursery rhymes in the English language is "Mary Had a Little Lamb." It has touched many children who have read it. The poem is both entertaining and educative. It is about the deep love between a young girl and her pet lamb. It is said that the poem was inspired by a true story that happened in the early part of the 19th century in the town of Sterling, Massachusetts, in the USA.

Mary Sawyer(1806-1889)lived on a farm with her family. One day, when she was about nine years old, she saw a little lamb that had just been born and abandoned by its mother. It was very weak and looked as if it would die that very moment. Mary took pity on the poor creature. She begged her father to let her take the lamb home and nurse it. Her father refused at first, but later he granted her request. Mary spent the whole night taking care of the lamb. Eventually, it grew strong. Mary was very kind to the lamb. She would wash and comb its fleece. Mary and her lamb became very close friends. Now, Mary lived on a farm far from other children so she had no one to play with. She had no dolls. The lamb became her only playmate, following her everywhere she went.

One day, the lamb followed Mary to school. At first she wanted to turn it back but her brother, Nathaniel, suggested that it would be fun to take the lamb to school. When they got to school, she hid the lamb under her desk. Later, the teacher called Mary up to recite. She went to the front of the class. To her shock, the lamb left its hiding place under her desk and followed her to the front of the class. The students and the teacher thought it was very funny to see a lamb at school, but then the teacher asked Mary to lock the lamb in a shed outside the school.

That very day, a young man called John Roulstone was visiting Mary's school. He was so moved by the love between the child and her little pet lamb that he wrote a poem which he handed to Mary the next day. John Roulstone's poem contained twelve lines.

Mary had a little lamb,

Its fleece was as white as snow,

And everywhere that Mary went,

The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day;

That was against the rule.

It made the children laugh and play

To see the lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,

but still it lingered near

And waited patiently about

Till Mary did appear.

Later, Sara Josepha Hale added another twelve lines to the poem and published it in 1930 under the title "Mary Had a Little Lamb". The poem has become a classic, loved by children from every culture and ethnic group. The appeal of the poem lies not only in the funny idea of a sheep going to school but also in the true love that existed between the little girl and her pet.

In Africa, it is common for a newly-married girl to take one of her younger brothers or sisters to her new home. So when my aunt got married, my grandmother decided that I should go and live with her in the city, far away from my village in the countryside. I lived in the city for ten years. When I finally returned to my hometown, I was like a fish out of water. There were many things I had to learn in order to fit into my "new life". In the city, little boys used to do many wicked things to animals. We would beat the dogs or cats or even destroy the nests of the birds in the trees. Once we threw a cat into a fast flowing river and then cheered excitedly as it struggled in the water.
