"Mary Had a Little Lamb is an American nursery rhyme written in the 19th century. It's a story about a little girl named Mary who has a pet lamb that is very attached to her. One day, her brother encourages Mary to bring the lamb to school. The sudden appearance of the lamb at school causes a commotion among the students. The students panic because Mary broke the rules by bringing the lamb to school where animals are not usually allowed. The nursery rhyme includes a line about the students wondering, "Why does the lamb love Mary so much?" Something that was wasn't supposed be there was there.
At the beginning of the book, Nagasawa states, 'A nuclear warhead named Mary's Lamb was deployed on Chichijima under U.S. military occupation.' " - From the text "An Unforgettable Place" by Tsuyoshi Tane
