Korczak published in Rozrywki in 1913.

Korczak published in the magazine Rozrywki in 1913.

Korczak published in the magazine Rozrywki, which was a children's part of the magazine for grown-ups, called Zorza. Below is a song that he previously also published in his book about summer camps, Michalówka and Wilhelmówka, where he worked as a tutor.

Let's go, let's go to Bath.
We'll come back clean and cheerful.
Left, right,
Water, soap, long live,
We'll wash our hands,
Our necks!
The sun is warm,
The wind is still,
It's time for a bath.
It's a shame to be afraid of cold water,
You have to be brave, like this fish,
Agile,
Fast,
Splash into the water. Splash into the water.




Oczywiście cytuje Korczak piosenki poprzednio odnotowane w Mośki, Joski i Srule:
Wstyd się lękać zimnej wody.
Musi zuchem być, kto młody.
Jak ta rybka zwinna, szybka,
Buch do wody, buch!

Znacie tę piosenkę? W Michałówce chłopcy pod takt tej samej piosenki maszerują parami do rzeki.
