'Yes marry, sir, three bags full.'',    'zh-CN by Elmer Boyd Smith, 1919

A boy in a blue tunic and a striking pink hat leans casually against a wooden gate, watching a rather grumpy-looking black ram with massive curled horns. A scruffy dog paws at the fence beside him, eager to join the conversation, while a sprawling flock of sheep grazes peacefully on rolling green hills beneath a tree bursting with autumn colors. The title, 'Yes marry, sir, three bags full,' is a direct quote from the classic nursery rhyme 'Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.' Elmer Boyd Smith, a prolific illustrator of the early 20th century, brings this beloved rhyme to life with a charming, pastoral scene that feels straight out of a storybook.
