Bien au chaud !
- Je disais que j’étais le moineau le plus rapide de toute la famille. Je chantais fort. J'étais très beau. Quand l’hiver est venu avec sa neige et sa glace qui recouvraient tout, je suis parti plus loin car je me croyais plus malin. Mais le froid a commencé à m'engourdir. Alors, je suis revenu et toute la famille m’a accueilli. Nous nous sommes tous serrés les uns contre les autres. Le froid n’a pas gagné ! Et j’ai compris que j’étais un moineau comme les autres.
