BAA, BAA, BLACK SHEEP
At the School Council Baa, Baa, Black Sheep was elected to a very high position among the Kipling Stories "because it shows how mean they were to a boy and he did n't need it."
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, Sir; yes, Sir; three bags full.
One for the Master, one for the Dame—
None for the Little Boy that cries down the lane.
—Nursery Rhyme.
THE FIRST BAG
"When I was in my father's house, I was in a better place."
