"Goosey, goosey, gander
Whither shall I wander?
Upstairs, downstairs
And in my lady's chamber;
There I met an old man
Who wouldn't say his prayers,
So I took him by his left leg
And threw him down the stairs."
"That sounds a bit violent," he added, "but it's just a silly old rhyme."
They all started to sing the words of the rhyme as they walked along, being very careful to leave lots of space between themselves and the goose family, as geese parents can be very cross if you get too close to their goslings.
"Tell us more about geese," pleaded Lizzie, who was very keen to learn, having fallen in love with the little characterful birds.
"Well, I don't know much more," replied Scary, "but I bet that Bubbles has brough his bird book with him and perhaps he will tell us some more interesting facts about geese from that."
