Question about count

[Yanagi Kazuo]

I want to know about Number count.
I just listen to like this: mine, mei,......
Do you know such a count way ?

[Anglika]

It is a counting out rhyme used by children and there are several versions. Here are two:
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a baby by the toe.
If it squeals let it go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.


It is used when choosing one of a group to so something, so the person who is pointed to on the last word is "it" - the selected person.
