Tomorrow's Reading


Here are some links to short stories that you should know to get the most out of this weekend's story!  Click on the picture to find out even more information about the nursery rhymes!


Here is the story itself:  "The Case of Four and Twenty Blackbirds"



Georgie Porgie pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.






Here is a nursery rhyme link to "Who Killed Cock Robin" ... that gives away the killer!



Doctor Foster
Went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain.
He stepped in a puddle
Right up to his middle
And never went there again!


Here is the one that the story is based on and explains what happened to the queen (Four and Twenty Blackbirds)

And of course, here is (Humpty Dumpty)


Now, for further investigation, here is the link for "film noir" a genre of film, and stories, were there is usually mystery and murder, and it is always rainy and dark out.
