Lyrics of nursery rhymes:

It's raining hard and it's pouring into the street.

Sell firewood in the street, sell firewood in the street, and wear flower shoes in the street.

It rained heavily and flooded the streets. My brother sells firewood in the street, and my sister-in-law goes out with flower shoes.

Flower shoes, socks, ribbons and pearl butterflies are arranged on both sides.
