Little Boy Blue was in love with Little Bo Peep, and, although he tried to ignore it, he was constantly with desire for her. He knew that if he simply did nothing, his love for her would and eventually sicken him. At first he was discouraged because she seemed to love only her sheep, but found it to learn she was a/an who helped feed the poor in her spare time. He knew that she was in her care for her sheep, and that it took a long time for her to them when it was time for them to change pastures. So he waited for the perfect time to his plan, and then he asked Little Bo Peep to be his wife. Alas, Little Bo Peep told him he was the last Little Boy she would ever marry, as she was already smitten with Little Jack Horner. Given Little Boy Blue's unpredictable and violent nature, this news might have had consequences for Little Jack Horner. Fortunately for everybody, Little Miss Muffet fell madly in love with Little Boy Blue, and her company went far to his anguish at the loss of Little Bo Peep and her big flock of sheep.
