Answer 4

Okay; humpty dumpty is not a cautionary tale, it was originally written as a riddle - it has no moral, it is simply a riddle, the answer to which is 'an egg'.

The phrase 'humpty-dumpty' comes from an early 1800's expression for a person who is short and clumsy (also an earlier usage meant 'brandy boiled with ale' like an old english cocktail :/)

  There are references throughout English literature and only after Carroll used it as a device to explain semantics and pragmatics in 'Through the Looking Glass' did it become considered to have any 'value' in terms of meaning.
