Hymns?... deep meaning within...

Ding dong bell, pussy's in the well

Who put her in? Little Johnny Flynn

Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout

What a naughty boy was that,

try to drown poor Pussycat,

Who ne'er did any harm

But killed all the mice in the Farmer's barn!

The lyrics were used to encourage a child to understand that it was unacceptable and cruel to harm any animal that had done no harm. Teaching morality at an early age. Introducing a child to onomatopoeia ( a word that sounds like its meaning) In this nursery rhyme the lyrics and words "ding dong" when pronounced convey the actual sounds!

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water

Jack fell down and broke his crownAnd Jill came tumbling after.

Up got Jack, and home did trot

As fast as he could caper

He went to bed and bound his head

With vinegar and brown paper.

French (history) connection!The roots of this child's nursery rhyme is in France and the Jack and Jill referred to are Louis XVI who was beheaded (lost his crown) followed by his Queen Marie Antoinette (who came tumbling after). The words and lyrics were made more palatable for the nursery by giving it a happy ending and has further been altered by the passage of time - the actual beheadings occurred in 1793

There is the origin of suffering, which is attachment to desire. Desire should be let go of. Desire has been let go of.

There is the cessation of suffering, of dukkha. The cessation of dukkha should be realised. The cessation of dukkha has been realised.

There is the Eightfold Path- the way out of suffering. This path should be developed. The final insight into arahantship is:‘This path has been fully developed.’
