Mother Courage And Her Children

Mother Courage And Her Children
There once was a mother, Mother Courage they called her, in the Thirty Years War, she sold victuals to soldiers. The war did not scare her, from making her cut, her three children went with her, and so got their bit. Her first son died a hero, the second an honest lad, a bullet found her daughter, whose heart was too good.
