    (continued from previous page)
    Tuesday's wealth,
    Wednesday the best day of all,
    Thursday's losses,
    Friday's crosses,
    Saturday no day at all.
    Monday's child is fair of face.
    Tuesday child is full of grace.
    Wednesday's child is full of woe.
    Thursday's child has far to go.
    Friday's child is loving and giving.
    Saturday's child works hard for a living.
    But the child that is born on the Sabbath day,
    Is blithe and bonny, merry and gay.

  2. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    There are many travellers about and there are many pedlars going around too. The pedlars go around selling things.
    There is a man called Harry Hickey who carries with him a big basket full of things. He sells laces and hair-clips and thread.
    There is another man called Luic the Jewman who goes around selling books and other things. He carries a big box with him.
