Instructions:    To say this African nursery rhyme, stretch
your left fingers. Then use your right forefinger to touch them as you call their
names.
(Touch the
thumb):                    This
one cries: Ne! Ne! Ne!
(Touch the
forefinger):              This
one asks: What is the matter?
(Touch the
middle finger):         This one replies: It is hungry.
(Touch the
ring finger):              This
one says: Food is in the fridge.
(Touch the
little finger):             This
one says: Let us eat it.
(Touch the
thumb again):           This
one says: I will tell Mama.
(Bend and
unbend the thumb):  The thumb really told
Mama.
                                                   The thumb is a tell-tale.
                                                   The thumb is a tell-tale.
                                                   The thumb is a tell-tale.
