   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.
