Some more nursery lore:

some more nursery lore: A youth named John and a girl call ed Jill were sent up the hill for pail of water, father being very busy at the time smoking his pipe. Picture the two little tots struggling up the hill! Having filled the pail they started home, when John, also known as Jack, stumbled and rolled down the hill, and Jill, having keen sense of humor, threw the bucket away and came tumbling after. Then they went home and suggested that father go after the water himself. A very in teresting and instructive story, but with gruesome ending.
