Igxuhp zvmwqfb Jack dry stolen

This morning, a preschooler dropped a case of alphabet stamps. These had been in alphabetical order, but when he picked them up, he paid no attention to that but just put them back in the case in a mixed-up order that was essentially random. In a seemingly impossible coincidence, this new order happened to spell out not just one word but three consecutive English words, consisting of half the letters in the alphabet:

There was zero chance that this was done on purpose. The kid is three years old and Chinese, and I'm sure he doesn't know how to spell words like dry and stolen, or anything really, beyond his own name. He does have a teacher who is called Jack, so he might conceivably know how to spell that, but I doubt it.

In the comments on "The randomness is working well today" -- of which there are a lot, with a lot of sync content, so don't miss them -- I summarized the script of a play in which the main characters (one of whom was played by me) steal a pumpkin pie that was baked for Elvis Presley. I then connected this with a nursery-rhyme variant created by one of my siblings at a very young age:

Jack and Jumph went up the glumph

To fetch a pumpkin pie.

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

And he began to cry.

Thus Jack and stolen were both associated with a pumpkin pie. I'm not entirely sure where dry fits in, but in the original nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill go up the hill to fetch a pail of water, and I guess someone who needs water would be "dry." More directly relevant may be "There's a Hole in My Bucket," which has come up here before (e.g. "Je suis Charlie Bucket"), where the reason they need a pail of water is that "the stone is too dry." Here are the lyrics, with the repetition cut out for your reading convenience:

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza.

Then mend it, dear Henry.

With what shall I mend it, dear Liza?

With straw, dear Henry.

The straw is too long, dear Liza.

Then cut it, dear Henry.

With what shall I cut it, dear Liza?

With a knife, dear Henry?

The knife is too dull, dear Liza.

Then sharpen it, dear Henry.

With what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza?

With a stone, dear Henry.

The stone is too dry, dear Liza.

Then wet it, dear Henry.

With what shall I wet it, dear Liza?

With water, dear Henry.

In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza?

In a bucket, dear Henry.

But there's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza.
