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.
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?
Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
