It was Mary's little lamb!

Mary Elizabeth Sawyer was the person that the nursery rhyme "Mary had a little lamb" was based upon.

Along with her father, Mary discovered a sickly lamb abandoned by its mother, while performing farm tasks. Surprisingly, Mary was able to nurse the lamb back to health. The rhyme was penned by fellow student John Roulstone when the lamb accompanied Mary and her brother to school.
