It is one of the oldest rhymes of all time. If I am not too wrong, many of our parents also read this in their childhood. The printed version of this rhyme first appeared in 1744, according to Wikipedia, in a book called Tommy Thumb’s Pretty Song Book. In olden times, sheep were very important because people used wool to make warm clothes. The rhyme shows how wool got shared among different people, and later it became a fun song for children. Well, the meaning of this rhyme was explained by my father when I was a kid, and explaining the lessons to Ani turned easy as I just repeated what my father told me. 🙂 Cheating >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 🙂
Lesson 1. Sharing Makes Everyone Happy
The black sheep gives wool to everyone. Yes, to the master, the dame, and the little boy or girl.
When we share what we have, we spread happiness all around. When we spread happiness, we attract happiness in our lives.
Lesson 2. Kindness Should Be Equal for All
The sheep doesn’t discriminate and it gives something to each person.
Treat everyone with kindness, whether big or small, rich or poor. Being kind is not restricted to any gender or social norms. Kindness is for all and all deserve kindness. Being kind is a way of spreading love.
Lesson 3. Gratitude is Powerful
Everyone who receives the wool says thank you. Always say thank you when someone helps you or gives you something. Gratitude shows respect. Showing gratitude helps you attract the blessings of Universe.
Lesson 4. Helping Others Brings Joy
The sheep is willing to help without complaining. Helping others makes our heart feel full, just like the sheep’s three bags of wool. Helping others is another way of embracing happiness in life.
Lesson 5. We All Have Something to Give
Even a small sheep can make a difference. No matter how small we are, we all have gifts, talents, or kindness to offer the world. Sharing is caring. Being kind to other is a noble act. Making others happy gives us blessings. Spreading love helps us getting love back.
Spreading love, embracing happiness, gratitude, and the power of giving ………… All these are not restricted to the kids only, but also for the adults. When we adults do all these, it educates our kids about the benefits and positivity of sharing and caring for others. The lessons I shared here in this post are all taught by my late father, and I just replicated them.
