Two legs sat upon three legs
With one leg in his lap;
In comes four legs
And runs away with one leg;
Up jumps two legs,
Catches up three legs,
Throws it after four legs,
And makes him bring back one leg.

Две ноги на трех ногах,
А четвертая в зубах,
Вдруг четыре прибежали
И с одною убежали.
Подскочили две ноги.
Ухватили три ноги,
Закричали на весь дом -
Да тремя по четырем.
Но четыре завизжали
И с одною убежали.
Перевод К. И. Чуковского


Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
The little finger on the right.

Почему ты его отпустил?
Потому, что он укусил меня за палец.
За какой палец укусил?
За правые мизинец.

One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.

One, two, three, four,
Mary at the cottage door,
Five, six, seven, eight,
Eating cherries off a plate.

TOMMY TITTLEMOUSE
Little Tommy Tittlemouse
Lived in a little house;
He caught fishes
In other men's ditches.

Little fishes in a brook,
Father caught them on a hook,
Mother fried them in a pan,
Johnnie eats them like a man.

ROBIN HOOD
Robin Hood
Has gone to the wood;
He'll come back again
If we are good.

JERRY HALL
Jerry Hall,
He is so small,
A rat could eat him,
Hat and all.

How many days has my baby to play?

RHYMES ABOUT NATURE
DAYS IN THE MONTH
Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November,
February has twenty-eight alone.
All the rest have thirty-one,
But leap year coming once in four
Gives February one day more.
It's raining, it's pouring,
The old man's snoring;
He got into bed
And bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning,
It's raining, it's raining,
There's pepper in the box,
And all the little ladies
Are picking up their frocks.

BETTY BLUE
Little Betty Blue
Lost her holiday shoe,
What can little Betty do?
Give her another
To match the other,
And then she may walk out in two.

LITTLE GIRL
Little girl, little girl,
Where have you been?
I've been to see grandmother
Over the green.
What did she give you?
Milk in a can.
What did you say for it?
Thank you, Grandam.
