A steep hill with wet grass can be very slippery indeed. I fell down on one myself a couple of months ago and badly sprained my knee. Hills can be dangerous!

She jumped after him, Princess Bride style.

Yes, that is how I read it.

Well, actually, there are places where you do!

Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound a treacle
Mix it up to make it nice
Pop! goes the weasel

Up and down the City Road
In and out the Eagle
That's the way the money goes
Pop! goes the weasel

Every time that I go out
The monkey gets on the table
Fetch a stick and knock him off
Pop! goes the weasel

Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jump over
The candlestick

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row

I know more of that one...

Up Jack got
And home did trot
As fast as he could caper
He went to bed
To mend his head
with vinegar and brown paper

Jill came in
And she did grin
To see Jack's paper plaster
Her mother whipped her 'cross her knees
For laughing at Jack's disaster

I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing on the sea;
And, oh! it was all laden
With pretty things for thee!

There were comfits in the cabin,
And apples in the hold;
The sails were made of silk,
And the masts were made of gold.

The four-and-twenty sailors
That stood between the decks,
Were four-and-twenty white mice
With chains about their necks.

The captain was a duck,
With a packet on his back;
And when the ship began to move,
The captain said, "Quack! Quack!"
