Vous reprendrez bien une part ?
- What's this?
Le soleil s'en va et la nuit va bientôt tomber. Maman prépare le dîner, et Léo la regarde. Papa va bientôt rentrer du travail.
Hé Léo, tu entends ? C'est le bruit de la porte d'entrée. Voilà Papa ! C'est chouette de le retrouver !
Tiens ? Un paquet ? Qu'est-ce qu'il y a dedans ? Oh ! Une couronne ! Mmmh ... encore une couronne ! Oh ! Une galette ! Mmmh ... c'est bon !
Dedans, il y a une fève. Si on la trouve, on est le roi, et on met la couronne. Et toi, tu aimerais bien être le roi, pas vrai, Léo ? Alors, où est la fève ? Espérons qu'elle est dans cette part... Hé Léo, Léo, Léo ! Ce n'est pas du jeu de faire ça ! Alors, tu as la fève ? Oh ! Ah non, c'est maman qui l'a ! Et c'est elle la reine ! Allez, ne sois pas triste Léo ! Regarde, ta maman a choisi son petit roi. C'est toi ! Même quand on n'a pas la fève, c'est drôlement bon, une galette des rois !
