Reading Notes: Nursery Rhymes B

there are lots of animal stories with potential to mash together. There's a poor cat who's almost drowned but is saved by a dog. A wedding between a fly and a bee, a flying monster cow???

there's also a recurrent theme of small children doing things together. Jack and jill, the two kids who live in an alley, the man who asked to marry the woman but she wasn't having it. These are all disparate and mildly related but i could splice them together somehow.

Im not sure how two geese could carry the kings daughter over a river but this could be a possible story. it's wild and vague enough i might be able to work with it especially if they perhaps kidnapped her or something.
I might be able to combine it with other bird nursery rhymes but for the most part they are very vague. In this other story a bunch of ducks die from eating polywags. I might include that geese are almost ducks.
