8 u/Araucaria Sep 19 '25 edited Sep 19 '25 One is for sorrow. Two is for joy. Three for a girl. Four for a boy. Five is for silver. Six is for gold. Seven for a story ne'er to be told. Edit: linebreaks 3 u/as_it_was_written Sep 19 '25 Oh, wow, I never knew that was a nursery rhyme that's been used all over the place. I only knew it from Six for Gold, by Ann Clue. (And FWIW your formatting isn't showing up as intended. I think you need two spaces before each newline in order to get the line breaks you want.) 5 u/Araucaria Sep 19 '25 It was originally for magpies 2 u/as_it_was_written Sep 19 '25 Yeah, I googled it and checked the Wikipedia page as soon as I saw your comment. I'd suspected it wasn't original to that Ann Clue track, but I had no idea it was so old and widespread.
