| There are always 'missing
bits' in the story when you read a 'nursery rhyme'. It's fun trying to fill in these missing bits and to try and
explain why people behave as they do. |
 |
| Sing a song of sixpence, A pocket full of rye; Four and twenty blackbirds Baked in a pie. When the pie was opened, They all began to sing. Now, wasn't that a dainty dish To set before the King? |
The King was in his countinghouse, Counting out his money; The Queen was in the parlor Eating bread and honey. The maid was in the garden, Hanging out the clothes. Along there came a big black bird And pecked off her nose! |
