Came across this while searching for stories to read our 3yo...
"Make three-fourths of a cross,

And a circle complete;

And let two semicircles

On a perpendicular meet;

Next add a triangle

That stands on two feet;

Next two semicircles,

And a circle complete."

Okay, I got it. First tried to draw it as one figure until I realized what it was turning into. Very appropriate. :clap:

She's a bit too young still just turning 3 a few weeks ago, but I will spring it on her when the time comes...

I'd imagine I'll get the eyeroll when I show it to the wife later.
Found this song along the way as well:
J'ai du bon tabac dans ma tabatière,

[I have good tobacco in my snuff box,]

J'ai du bon tabac, tu n'en auras pas.

[I have good tobacco and you will get none.]

J'en ai du fin et du bien râpé,

[I have some fine, and some well-shredded,]

Mais ce n'est pas pour ton vilain nez !

[But they are not for your ugly nose.]

J'ai du bon tabac dans ma tabatière,

[I have good tobacco in my snuff box,]

J'ai du bon tabac, tu n'en auras pas.

[I have good tobacco and you will get none.]

That's funny ... never seen that one. :)
Someone needs to smack that stingy Frenchman, though! :mrgreen:
