All Jamaicans know - Fatty and Skinny

 "Fatty and Skinny" is a popular Jamaican children's song and folktale that has been passed down through generations. The song tells the story of two friends who were always together, despite their differences in size and personality.


Fatty, as the name suggests, is a larger boy who loves to eat and is known for his big belly. Skinny, on the other hand, is a thinner boy who is always hungry and constantly looking for food.


Despite their different appetites and body types, the two boys are the best of friends. They share food and have fun together, never judging each other for their size or personality.


The story of Fatty and Skinny is often used as a moral lesson for children, teaching them the principles of friendship, tolerance, and acceptance. It is a beloved part of Jamaican culture and continues to be passed down from generation to generation.
