nursery rhymes are too scary for kids.

contents in the rhyme and give it a pleasant ending.For example,Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall ,Humpty Dumpty
had a great fall ;All the king’s horses and all the king’s men,Couldn’t put Humpty together again
Then came a man, dark caped and gowned,
He raised a wand and made a sound,
Up jumped Humpty- look! The yolk and the white
Came together again- and he was all
right!__Q: Extend and rewrite any two nursery rhymes, retaining the rhythm and the rhyme.Little Miss
Muffet sat on a tuffet,Eating her curds and wheyAlong came a spider,And sat down beside her,And frightened Miss Muffet
away.…………………………………………………………………..Three blind mice,three blind mice,See how they run,see how they
run!They all ran after the farmer’s wife,Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,Did ever you see such a thing in your life,As three
blind mice?………………………………………………………3.Ding,dong,bell,Pussy’s in the well.Who put her in?Little Johny
Green.Who pulled her out?Little Tommy Stout.What a naughty boy was that,To try and drown poor pussy
cat.………………………………………………………………..4.Jack and Jill went up the hill,To fetch a pail of water.Jack fell down and
broke his crown,And Jill came tumbling
after.……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Note: 1.The

note!Teacher:Whaaaat? A talking pencil?
