По пути в Сент-Ив

< As I was going to St Ives



По пути в Сент-Ив встретила я,
С семью жёнами мужа я:
У каждой жены - семь мешков,
В каждом мешке по семь котов,
У каждой кошки семь котят:
Котят, котов, мешков и жён!
Сколько же шло в Сент-Ив?!


As I was going to St Ives.jpg

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits:
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?
