Explanation

Baa Baa Black Sheep is the nursery rhyme that originated from the medieval European tax system where one-third of produce went to the King (master), one-third to the nobility/Church (dame), and one-third remained for the common farmer (little boy). The rhyme directly references this three-part division: 'Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full; one for the master, one for the dame, and one for the little boy.'
