Little Boy Blue's Mother

Little Boy Blue's Mother is the mother of Little Boy Blue, the titular character of the [[Mother Goose Stories episode "Boy Blue".

Little Boy Blue's Mother was very poor, living in the country with her son and surviving off the small bits of grain left in the field after the harvest. She often objected to her son going out to get a job because her son was so young, but one day Little Boy Blue insisted and went to see the Squire.

Soon Little Boy Blue's mother grew ill. Boy Blue spent all day working in the field and then spend all night watching over his mother. The next day, exahusted from not sleeping the night before, Little Boy Blue fell asleep on the job. When the squire found Boy Blue asleep in the hay, he was furious. The squire was about to fire him when Boy Blue explained why he had fallen asleep. The squire was impressed that a young boy would care so much for his mother and rewarded Boy Blue selflessness by inviting Boy Blue and his mother to come live in the cottage that stands by the hall.
