【童谣】

There was a crooked man,

And he walked a crooked mile,

He found a crooked sixpence

Against a crooked stile;

He bought a crooked cat,

Which caught a crooked mouse,

And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

一个扭曲的男人，

走了一里扭曲的路。

手拿扭曲的六便士，

踏上扭曲的台阶，

买一只歪歪扭扭的猫儿，

猫儿抓着歪歪扭扭的老鼠。

他们一起住歪歪扭扭的小屋。
