Dear French person,
I remember there was a fancy that you played with Jacks saying the little rhyme. You threw up the ball and said jack be nimble, touched the ground and caught the ball.

Then you threw up the ball, said “Jack be Quick,” touched the ground again and caught the ball.

Then you threw up the ball, said “Jack jumped over,” and touched the ground on the two sides of the jack like your finger was jumping over and caught the ball, finally, threw up the ball said “the candle stick,” picked up the jack and caught the ball.

It was an easy fancy
