In the second part (exclusively on YouTube) we will analyse three nations regarding the reasons for their perceived levels on the Power Distance Index (PDI)

Le chat et le corbeau
Frileux, le petit chat, regarde tomber la neige. Il n'aime pas l'hiver. Le jardin est tout blanc : pas un oiseau, pas une fleur, même pas une mouche ! Frileux s’ennuie…
Tout à coup, on frappe à la vitre.
Toc, toc, toc, c’est Noireau, le corbeau.
- Je peux entrer ? demande-t-il, j'ai froid et j’ai faim !
Frileux ouvre la fenêtre et Noireau entre dans la cuisine.
- Il ne faut pas avoir peur, rassure Frileux, je ne te mangerai pas. Voici un reste de gâteau et un peu de lait.
- Merci, dit le corbeau. En été, je t'apporterai des vers de terre, c'est délicieux !
- Je préfère les souris, dit Frileux, mais c'est moi qui te remercie. J'étais seul, cela m'a fait plaisir de te voir, reviens demain à la même heure !
Et, depuis ce jour-là, le petit chat et le corbeau sont devenus de grands amis.

The Crow & the Pitcher
In a spell of dry weather, when the Birds could find very little to drink, a thirsty Crow found a pitcher with a little water in it. But the pitcher was high and had a narrow neck, and no matter how he tried, the Crow could not reach the water. The poor thing felt as if he must die of thirst.

Then an idea came to him. Picking up some small pebbles, he dropped them into the pitcher one by one. With each pebble the water rose a little higher until at last it was near enough so he could drink.

In a pinch a good use of our wits may help us out.
