Never read while eating.
Don't lick your spoon
Don't eat off your knife.
Don't put your elbows on the table.
WHOLE DUTY OF CHILDREN
A child should always say what's true
And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at table:
At least as far as he is able.
THE GREEDY BOY
Sammy Smith would drink and eat
From morning until night;
He filled his mouth so full of meat,
It was a shameful sight.
Indeed he ate and drank so fast,
And used to stuff and cram,
The name they called him by at last
Was often Greedy Sam.
JACK-A-DANDY
Handy Pandy, Jack-a-dandy,
Loves plum cake and sugar candy,
He bought some
At the grocer's shop
And out he came, hop, hop, hop!
МАНЕРЫ ДЕТЕЙ
Ребенку правду говорят.
За правилами - все следят.
Подчас манеры за столом
Заводят далеко потом.
НЕВОСПИТАННЫЙ МАЛЫШ
Сэмми Смит всегда жует:
Утром, вечером и днем.
Если Сэмми Смит пришел,
Быстро опустеет стол.
Смотрит только на еду.
Чавкает язык во рту.
Даже, если полон рот,
Все равно не прожует.
А не сможет прожевать,
Может губы облизать.
Если мы к нему идем,
То по имени зовем.
