- (continued from previous page)The House that Jack built. 7-7-1938.Where's the house that Jack built,
The fire burned it,
Where's the fire?
The water quenched it.
Where's the water?
The bull drank it.
Where's the bull?
The butcher killed him.
Where's the butcher?
The rope hung him.
Where's the rope?
The rat cut it.
Where's the rat?
The cat ate him.
Where's the cat?
The cat's behind the miller's door crying out three nips three scrapes three pulls of the hair-whoever
laughs or speakes first. - A "bonnoc" of bread and a sheet full of crumbs.
