In the nursery rhyme "Hickory Dickory Dock," what did the clock strike?

hope everyone out there is safe and healthy

The way I remember it is: The clock struck one And down he run...

The full rhyme has additional animals running up, with the clock striking one (mouse), two (snake), three (squirrel), four (cat), five (monkey), then an elephant. I love how this game makes me read more!

Timoteo, I remember that line as, "And down the mouse run."

Timoteo, Nope. Apart from anything else the correct way to say that would be 'and down he ran'
