"Mary's" Little Lamb

"Mary had a little lamb, but that was a long time ago. Did you notice that they said had?"

"Daddy, what are you talking about?"

"Well dear Emilie, Mary's parents were poor farmers, they didn't get the lamb for her."

"Then whose lamb was it Daddy?"

"It was indeed her parent's lamb, but the lamb was not kept as a pet."

"Why not?"

"Emilie, the lamb was their dinner."
