Jack and Gill
Went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down
And broke his crown,
And Gill came tumbling after.


Why would anyone go up a hill to get water?

Water should be at the bottom of the hill, at the stream, or at a well.
Aren't wells more often dug nearer to the bottom of a hill?
