In England, many children enjoy playing the game of Ring a ring o' roses

They stand in a circle and then skip around, singing the song until the last line, when they all fall down. Where does this song come from? Many people believe that the song is about the Great Plague of London, in 1665, when about 100. 000 people died from a mysterious disease. The roses refer to the rosy rash which was the first sign that someone had the disease.

The first recorded case of the plague was on April 12, 1665, but by July of that year it had spread through London. By September, 7,000 people were dying every week and many chose to leave London. A small number of doctors staved to fight the plague, but nobody knew that rats were carrying the disease around the city's dirty streets.

The plague continued in London until September, 1666, when the Great Fire of London bumed down many of the streets where the rats lived. Afterwards, Sir Christopher Wren designed streets for London and the plague didn't return. London survived both disasters and today only the words of the children's song remind us ofthe deadly disease.

The song is about a terrible disease in London.
