Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet is a classic nursery rhyme about a young girl who sits on a tuffet (a small stool or cushion) to eat her curds and whey (a type of cottage cheese). However, a spider surprises her, causing her to jump up and away and run for cover. The rhyme ends with Miss Muffet wondering where to hide from the spider.
The rhyme is thought to have originated in the 19th century, and it has been adapted into many different forms over the years. It is a popular choice for bedtime stories and children’s books, and it is often used to teach children about the fear of spiders.
