ABSTRACT
Everyone enjoys this nursery rhyme, chanting it with claps and moves. But when the children meet Humpty Dumpty they are surprised to find that he sits on the wall because he is fed up. Other children don't want to play with him because he is different. He can't help being an egg. He was born this way. His mother says he should be proud to be an egg, like his parents and grandparents before him. He finds it difficult to be glad to be an egg, however, especially when it means that the children laugh at him and exclude him from their games.
