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.

Moydodyr (Russian: Мойдоды́р) is a 1923 poem for children by Korney Chukovsky about a magical creature by the same name. The name "Moy do dyr" is literally translated as "Wash 'til Holes"; the common English translation is "Wash 'Em Clean".

# 1 Fairy tale_Moydodyr  (+transcription)

King Charles III was officially named Britain’s head of state on September 10. The ceremony was held at St. James’s Palace, in London, England. The tradition is centuries old. But this was the first time it was broadcast live online and on TV.

In a speech, Charles promised to follow his mother’s “inspiring example” as he took on his new role. “I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities . . . which have now passed to me,” he said.

The ceremony ended when a royal official announced the news from a palace balcony. With trumpet players by his side, he led cheers of “Hip, hip, hooray!” for the new king.

King Charles’s coronation, or official crowning, is likely months away. It will be held at London’s Westminster Abbey.
