welcome back! *hugs Dicky*

It sounds like a nice nursery rhyme (have you noticed how absurd nursery rhymes often are?), and it's a nice story of hope.

Thank you!

I think nursery rhymes quite often conceal a grain of truth or history behind the absurdity.

That they do. Some of the mot popular French ones speak of rejection, eating a human being, refusing to help, being eaten, favoring wealth, etc.

Now why would French rhymes go on about eating so much...?!

Loves you, Sonia :)
