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 !
