Did Sarah Josepha Hale write"Mary's Little Lamb,"the eternal nursery rhyme(兒歌)about a girl named Mary with a stubborn lamb?This is still disputed,but it's clear that the woman 26 for writing it was one of America's most fascinating 27.In honor of the poem's publication on May 24,1830,here's more about the 28 author's life.

Hale wasn't just a writer,she was also a 29 social advocate,and she was particularly 30 with an ideal New England,which she associated with abundant Thanksgiving meals that she claimed had"a deep moral influence."She began a nationwide 31 to have a national holiday declared that would bring families together while celebrating the 32 festivals.In 1863,after 17 years of advocacy including letters to five presidents,Hale got it.President Abraham Lincoln,during the Civil War,issued a 33 setting aside the last Thursday in November for the holiday.

The true authorship of"Mary's Little Lamb"is disputed.According to the New England Historical Society,Hale wrote only part of the poem,but claimed authorship.Regardless of the author,it seems that the poem was 34 by a real event.When young Mary Sawyer was followed to school by a lamb in 1816,it caused some problems.A bystander named John Roulstone wrote a poem about the event,then,at some point,Hale herself seems to have helped write it.However,if a 1916 piece by her great-niece is to be trusted,Hale claimed for the 35 of her life that"some other people pretended that someone else wrote the poem".

Sarah Josepha Hale寫過“瑪麗的小羔羊,”永恒的童謠（兒歌）是一個叫瑪麗的女孩與一個頑固的羔羊，這一點仍有爭議，但很明顯，因為寫這本書而獲獎的女性是美國最迷人的作家之一。為了紀(jì)念這首詩在1830年5月24日出版，這里有更多關(guān)于這位28位作者的生活。

黑爾不僅是一名作家，她還是一名29歲的社會倡導(dǎo)者，尤其是30歲的她有著理想中的新英格蘭，她把它與豐盛的感恩節(jié)大餐聯(lián)系在一起，并聲稱這對她有“深刻的道德影響”。她開始在全國范圍內(nèi)設(shè)立一個全國性的節(jié)日，宣布在慶祝這32個節(jié)日的同時，家庭團(tuán)聚。1863年，經(jīng)過了17年的倡導(dǎo)，包括給五位總統(tǒng)的信件，黑爾得到了這份工作。美國總統(tǒng)亞伯拉罕•林肯（Abraham Lincoln）在內(nèi)戰(zhàn)期間發(fā)布了一份33份的公告，將11月的最后一個星期四定為感恩節(jié)。

《瑪麗的小羊羔》的真正作者尚存爭議。根據(jù)新英格蘭歷史協(xié)會的說法，黑爾只寫了詩的一部分，但聲稱是作者。不管作者是誰，這首詩似乎是由一件真實事件寫成的。1816年，年輕的瑪麗•索亞（Mary Sawyer）被一只小羊羔尾隨上學(xué)，這引起了一些問題。一個名叫John Roulstone的旁觀者寫了一首關(guān)于這件事的詩，然后，在某種程度上，Hale自己似乎也幫助寫了這首詩。然而，如果她的侄孫女在1916年創(chuàng)作的一首詩值得信賴的話，那么在她生命中的35年里，黑爾聲稱“有些人假裝這首詩是別人寫的”。
