The cow was notoriously cheap, so it surprised everyone when she voted yes for the secret Santa
scheme. It was the horse’s suggestion, and she backed it immediately, saying, “I choose the turkey.” The pig, who considered himself an authority on all things gifty, cleared his throat. “That’s not actually the way it works,” he said. “It’s secret, see, so we each draw a name and keep it to ourselves until Christmas morning.” “Why do you always have to be like that?” the cow asked, and the duck sighed, “Here we go.” “First you ask me to give someone a Christmas present,” the cow continued, “and then you tell me it has to be done your way. Like, ‘Oh, I have four legs so I’m better than everyone else.’ ” “Don’t you have four legs?” the pig asked. The cow loosed something between a moan and a sigh. “All right, just because you have a curly tail,” she said.

The Cow and the Turkey (Adult 18+)

Jeanne d'Arc, surnommée "La Pucelle d'Orléans", incarne le courage et le dévouement dans l'histoire de France. Née en 1412, elle a lutté avec foi et ténacité pour libérer la France de l'occupation anglaise durant la guerre de Cent Ans. 

Ses visions divines l'ont guidée dès l'âge de 17 ans, la poussant à couronner Charles VII à Reims. Soutenue par sa foi, elle devient une chef militaire influente, catalysant la victoire à Orléans en 1429. Capturée par les ennemis, elle subit un procès injuste et est brûlée en 1431. Son sacrifice renforce sa légende, et sa réhabilitation en 1456 souligne son innocence.

Sainte canonisée en 1920, elle inspire au-delà des frontières, symbolisant courage et idéaux nobles, un pilier de l'histoire française et un exemple durable de dévouement à une cause plus grande.
