Un lapin de glace
Edgar a fait un bon de trop, il a cassé la glace et est tombé à l'eau. Il gigote, patauge, mais ça ne sert à rien, il ne sait pas nager. Pauvre Edgar! Il coule dans l'eau glacée. Jeannot, voyant que son ami tarde à remonter, se met aussitôt à crier.
Bien vite, tous les habitants du petit bois arrivent avec des cordes et des filets. Edgar est repêché, mais il est tout gelé!
Que faire ? Allumer un grand feu, pardi! 
Aussitôt dit, aussitôt fait. Peu à peu, la glace se met à fondre en libérant Edgar d'un sommeil forcé.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser Part 2. 

D

When finally completed, the Step Pyramid rose 62 meters high and was the tallest structure of its time. The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt and included a temple, courtyards, shrines, and living quarters for the priests. It covered a region of 16 hectares and was surrounded by a wall 10.5 meters high. The wall had 13 false doors cut into it with only one true entrance cut into the south-east corner; the entire wall was then ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide. The false doors and the trench were incorporated into the complex to discourage unwanted visitors. If someone wished to enter, he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening in the wall. Djoser was so proud of his accomplishment that he broke the tradition of having only his own name on the monument and had Imhotep’s name carved on it as well.

E

The burial chamber of the tomb, where the king’s body was laid to rest, was dug beneath the base of the pyramid, surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels that had rooms off them to discourage robbers. One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was a large number of stone vessels. Over 40,000 of these vessels, of various forms and shapes, were discovered in storerooms off the pyramid’s underground passages. They are inscribed with the names of rulers from the First and Second Dynasties of Egypt and made from different kinds of stone.
