Le manège magique
Dimanche, Bicotin, le petit mouton, est allé sur les manèges. Il ne voulait plus descendre de l’auto rouge. Il est rentré chez lui en pleurant.
La nuit, il est retourné à la fête. Il est monté dans l’auto rouge, mais elle s’est détachée du manège. Bicotin roulait sur la route à deux cents à l’heure. Malheur!
Il a raté un virage et boum !... dans un arbre ! Quel choc ! Bicotin a ouvert les yeux. Il était dans son lit. Il avait rêvé. Quel soulagement !

한국 식당에서 주문하기

[손님]: 안녕하세요. 한국 음식은 처음이라 무엇을 시켜야 할지 잘 모르겠어요.

[직원]: 안녕하세요! 어떤 맛을 좋아하시는지 여쭤봐도 될까요? 매운 음식은 괜찮으세요?

[손님]: 저는 매운 음식을 잘 못 먹어요. 한국 음식은 매운 게 많다고 들어서 걱정돼요.

[직원]: 맞습니다. 다행히 저희는 매운 정도를 조절할 수 있어요. 예를 들어, 비빔밥은 여러 나물, 고기, 계란, 그리고 고추장을 넣어 비벼 먹는데, 매운 맛을 고객님께 맞춰 드릴 수 있습니다.

[손님]: 비빔밥은 제가 원하는 만큼 덜 맵게 해주실 수 있다는 말씀이시죠?

[직원]: 네, 맞습니다.

[손님]: 그러면 비빔밥 하나 부탁드릴게요. 그리고 김치찌개는 어떤 음식인지 설명해 주세요.

[직원]: 김치찌개는 발효된 김치, 돼지고기, 두부, 야채 등이 들어간 찌개입니다. 약간 매콤하면서도 깊은 맛이 특징이고, 역시 매운 정도를 조절할 수 있어요.

[손님]: 김치는 배추를 발효시켜 만든 음식이죠? 어떤 맛이 나는지 궁금해요.

[직원]: 네, 김치는 신맛, 짠맛, 그리고 약간의 매콤함이 어우러져 있습니다. 처음 드시면 특이하게 느껴질 수 있지만, 다른 음식과 함께 드시면 맛이 더 좋아집니다.

[손님]: 그렇군요 그러면 비빔밥과 김치찌개, 두 가지 메뉴로 주문할게요.

[직원]: 알겠습니다. 혹시 해산물 요리도 경험해 보고 싶으시다면 해물파전을 추천드립니다. 해물파전은 해산물과 채소를 넣어 부쳐낸 전으로, 겉은 바삭하고 속은 부드러워요.

[손님]: 해물파전도 한 번 먹어보고 싶네요. 하나 추가해 주세요.

[직원]: 네, 비빔밥, 김치찌개, 해물파전 세 가지 메뉴로 주문해 드리겠습니다. 추가로 물이나 음료도 필요하실까요?

[손님]: 물 한 잔 부탁드려요.

[직원]: 주문은 곧 준비해 드리겠습니다. 메뉴에 대해 더 궁금하신 점 있으시면 언제든지 말씀해 주세요.

[직원]: 즐거운 식사 되시길 바랍니다!

Spanish star Rafael Nadal is retiring from professional tennis at the age of 38, he has announced.

Nadal won 22 Grand Slam singles titles during his career, including the French Open 14 times.

He has been one of the greatest players of the modern game, sharing his time at the top with his longtime rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

The tennis world has long debated which man should be called the "Greatest of All Time" — or "GOAT."

Nadal hasn't been able to compete much during the past two seasons because of injuries. He has entered just two of the last eight major tournaments.

He said that next month's Davis Cup finals — when he'll play for Spain — will be his final tournament.

"It is obviously a difficult decision, one that has taken me some time to make," he said. "But in this life, everything has a beginning and an end."

Nadal was known for his physical style of play — he played every point as though it were his last, but he was especially strong on clay courts.

There is a statue of Nadal outside those slow, red courts in Paris on which he enjoyed so much success.

As well as his French Open titles, he won the US Open four times and won Wimbledon and the Australian Open twice each.

"I think it is the appropriate time to put an end to a career that has been long and much more successful than I could have ever imagined," Nadal said.

His last major title came in Paris in June 2022. Nadal's tally of Grand Slams has since been surpassed by Djokovic, who has now won 24 majors.

In total, the Spaniard won 92 singles titles, spent 209 weeks as the world's number one player and earned almost $135 million in prize money.

He said: "Really, everything I have experienced has been a dream come true."
