MARY AND HER LAMB. Mary had a little lamb; Its fleece was white as snow; And everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go. He followed her to school one dayIt was against the rule; It made the children laugh and play, To see a lamb at school. And so the teacher turned him out; But still he lingered near, And waited patiently about, Till Mary did appear. Then he ran to her, and laid His head upon her arm, As if he said: "I'm not afraid; You'll keep me from all harm.” "What makes the lamb love Mary so?" The eager children cry; "Oh, Mary loves the lamb, 'you know," The teacher did reply. -Sarah J. Hale. What was the color of Mary's lamb? Where did the lamb go one day? What did the teacher do?
