or no worries up until 1926
They didn't know they were 60

Was when they brought IN little
Marys ancestors Ever ythln {

folks multiplied They did all
the work and the little lambs
lUsi gamboled Some of the
lambs. were mt nice lambs and
thcy made little Mary's people
suffer and caused them to be
beaten and they even killed
some Of them.
I The mcancSt Of al The little
! Lambs lived IN a crue. swanpy
pinev. fopest-lke place called
Georeiasippi In GeorgiasippI the
lambs did not look like lambs in
other parts OF the country They

had to 60 Marv was the nurse
for al the l,,le lambs who could
not WalE or feed themselves and
Md,v had TO take care Of them

so they did and SO they do, even
to this day.
But Mary. she can't 60 any
more The dear little lambs
made laws that would keep Ma
Nv out Then the lambs decioed
that they wanted as little as
possible OF Mary They had a
meeting and decided that they
would keep Mary satisfied with
nattcry. caiolery. few hand
outs. and many lies. This made
Mary keep supporting the lambs
and keep getting poorer herself.
The lambs took all the lush pas
lures and built fences around
them and called the fences

A sudden change came over the
lambs. They all now looked like
and acted like the Georgiasippi
lambs except very rare lamb
