The Story of Little Boy Blue -...

L. Frank Baum

"Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn, 
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn; 
Where's the little boy that minds the sheep? 
He's under the haystack, fast asleep!" 
So what is this all about? Why is he asleep? Is he just lazy or is there a good reason for this? That wonderful storyteller Baum, of Wizard of Oz fame, tells us the delightful story behind this little rhyme and we all will feel much better knowing that the little boy had excellent reasons to be asleep that morning. Listen and enjoy the whole nifty story. Many of our most loved nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be the children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines.
