Let's read and listen to Gianni Rodari's nursery rhyme "The head of the nail".

Always pertinent, always cheerful, never scurrilous: Gianni Rodari's short but significant nursery rhymes help us reflect and stimulate critical thinking.

Gianni Rodari

Giovanni Francesco Rodari, known as Gianni[1] (pronounced Rodàri, /roˈdari/; Omegna, 23 October 1920 – Rome, 14 April 1980), was an Italian writer, pedagogist, journalist and poet. He is the only Italian writer to have won the Hans Christian Andersen Prize (1970). (read again)

Let's read together

The palm of the hand
dates does not,
on the sole of the foot
who will climb?

The table does not wear shoes,
on four feet stands:
the train does not wag its tail
but the tail has it.

Even the nail has a head,
but he doesn't think about it:
the same thing happens
to more than one person.
