    The pretty little girl of mine
    A number of children stand in a ring and one child stands in the middle of the ring and the other children say "See" this pretty little girl of mine she is a bottle of wine a bottle of wine and a biscuit too see what my little girl can do, down on the carpet she must go while the grass around her grows stand Up straight upon your feet and show me the y one you love so sweet". When they have said that the child who is standing in the middle of the ring must point out the one she loves so sweeet and the one that the child points out must go out into the ring the same as the first time and so on until they are done.
