Well, 'The Three Little Pigs' is a well - known nursery rhyme story. It tells of three pigs who each build a house, one of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks. The big bad wolf comes along and tries to blow their houses down. The pigs in the brick house are the only ones safe in the end. And there's 'Mary Had a Little Lamb', which is based on a real girl named Mary Sawyer who had a lamb that followed her to school one day.
One popular nursery rhyme story is 'Jack and Jill'. It's about a boy and a girl who go up a hill to fetch a pail of water and then have an accident on their way down. Another is 'Humpty Dumpty', the story of an egg - like character who sits on a wall and then has a great fall and all the king's men can't put him back together again. 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' also has a story - like quality, often told as a little star shining in the sky and being admired from the earth.
One popular one is 'The Three Little Pigs'. The nursery rhyme and the story are quite similar. The pigs build their houses - one of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks. The big bad wolf tries to blow their houses down. The rhyme helps kids remember the basic plot. Another is 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'. The story could be about Mary taking care of the lamb, how she feeds it and plays with it. And the rhyme makes it catchy for kids to sing along.
Some nursery rhymes have dark real stories. For example, 'Ring Around the Rosie' is said to be related to the Black Death. The 'rosie' might refer to the rash, and the posies were carried to ward off the bad smell of the disease. People falling down was a representation of death.
Another is 'Jack and Jill'. Some interpretations suggest that Jack and Jill represent Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Their beheading during the French Revolution could be symbolized by 'Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after'. It gives a rather dark view of historical events through the guise of a simple nursery rhyme.
One example is 'Ring Around the Rosie'. It is often associated with the Black Death. 'Ring around the Rosie' was thought to represent the red rash that was a symptom. 'Pocket full of posies' might refer to the flowers people carried to try to ward off the disease's stench. 'Ashes, ashes' could be about the cremation of the dead bodies.
Some nursery rhymes have historical or cultural roots. For example, certain rhymes might refer to past events or traditional customs that have been passed down over time.
Actually, very few nursery rhymes have a basis in real events. They are often imaginative and passed down through generations for fun and to impart values or lessons to kids.
Some nursery rhymes are based on true stories. For example, 'Ring a Ring o' Roses' is said to be related to the Great Plague. However, many nursery rhymes have been passed down through generations and have had various interpretations added over time, so not all have a clear - cut true story origin.

For 'Jack and Jill', it may be based on King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Their beheadings could be symbolized by Jack falling down and breaking his crown and Jill coming tumbling after. However, this is just one theory.
