"Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water..."
Jack fell because the hill was so steep, Jill fell down for the same reason, what I wonder is why they went looking for water at the top of the hill--wouldn't there have been more water at the bottom of it?!

Jill was a co-dependent female who could not do anything on her own. After Jack fell, she was lost and hopeless so she simply did the same thing he did.
A more politically correct version would be "Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill went to night school and got her PHD while raising 3 children as a single mom and now is the CEO of a Fortune 500 company."

Jill came tumbling down after as she wanted to help Jack up but instead she tripped and fell thus, the poem wrote that Jill came tumbling after.........as easy as that!

"The roots of the story, or poem, of Jack and Jill are in France. Jack and Jill referred to are said to be King Louis XVI - Jack -who was beheaded (lost his crown) followed by his Queen Marie Antoinette - Jill - (who came tumbling after). "

Not suppose to make sense it is meant to teach rhyming for children. No nonsense rhymes help get children ready for reading. (Reading Readiness)
