Hüvelykujjam almafa

Finger Play

(Hungarian)

Hüvelykujjam almafa,
mutatóujjam megrázta,
középső ujjam felszedte,
gyűrűsujjam hazavitte,
a kisujjam mind megette,
megfájdult a hasa tőle.

My Thumb is an Apple Tree

Finger Play

(English)

My thumb is an apple tree,
My forefinger shook it,
My middle finger picked it up,
My ring finger brought it home,
My little finger ate it all,
Now it has a stomachache.
