MOTHER GOOSE knew many Of LIES

Personally, I prefer to believe all

it is no other than Jack, be nimble,

concentration Jack put into that
lump. so as to clear that fame. He
did not dare get too fat. for his bulky
body would never have taken that
leap. An entire lesson is in that
Jingle. He did not overeat- He kept
his body supple with exercise; then
he kept his mind clear, so he could
be alert-even to a well-directed
vision
Fencing cultivates all these graces.
