- (continued from previous page)same name.Small children play little games of their own, such as ring a ring a rosy, Oranges the lemons the bells are clements, horse and car, train, and baby-house and they also speak different to big people because they are unable to sound every syllable, so I will give a list of them, wat (rat), Bidie (Bridie) hoss, (horse), sicken (chidken), dop, (drop) beckfast (breakfast) seets (sweets) bed (bread), guass (grass), Ganda (Granda) wook (work) and many others which I cannot describe, but I love to be listening to the little ones who are just beginning to talk, because it is amusing to hear the way they pronounce the words.Only for playing games like I have mentioned we would all be as stiff as old men and women of eighty years of age.
