Les crêpes
Minouchette, la chatte, s’ennuie.
- Si on faisait des crêpes ? suggère maman.
- Quelle bonne idée ! Je vais t’aider, promet Minouchette.
Après avoir mis la farine et les œufs dans un bol, on verse doucement le lait en remuant avec une cuillère en bois. Puis, on chauffe la poêle et on y dépose un peu de pâte. Pour qu’elle cuise de l'autre côté, on doit faire sauter la crêpe.
- Je peux essayer ? demande Minouchette.
Hop, la crêpe saute si haut qu’elle s’envole par la fenêtre et tombe sur la tête d’Oscar, le canard !
- Tu as un beau chapeau, lui dit son ami, et il sent bien bon !

The Meaningless "do" of English

Jaj, ne! Nincs itthon tej. - ébredt a gondolatra Luca, miután épp a reggeli kávéjáról álmodozott.
Luca minden reggel a kedvenc kávézójában fogyassza el a kávéját. Ma azonban ünnep van és minden zárva.Luca pánikba esett. Ha ma minden bolt zárva, nem tudok kókusztejet sem venni? A sarki bolt! Jankáék kisboltja! - kiáltott fel örömében. - Ők mindig nyitva vannak, még ünnepnapokon is. Luca felkapta a kocsikulcsait, bezárta a lakásajtót és a bolt felé vette az irányt.  (...)
