I was a loud child (some might argue that's still the case), so I was often plucked from the pack to read at assembly and appear in school productions, I can't specifically recall The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704562197692201471.post-71538584756082807912016-01-25T17:59:29.047+00:002016-01-25T17:59:29.047+00:00engine, not egine. engine, not egine.

I distinctly remember it in primary 5 in Broughty Ferry, but in our case we were all given the same poem, which we all had to learn then recite individually, and the best reciter won, well, I've no idea what.
