In the heart of night, as he was thinking he was going to die there, Malice the dog saw some lights flickering towards him. They drew quite near and the voice of a dog was heard in the dark :
- Captain ! A comrade ! Here !
The beam of a powerful lamp came to land on Malice’s nose and a dog, clad in a combat uniform with three stars on his chest addressed him…
A sudden shiver ran through Malice… What was going to happen to him ?

Bonjour les amis,

je suis Charlotte la loutre.

Hello friends,

I am Charlotte the otter.

Cachée dans les roseaux,

j’aime regarder les humains

se promener sur les berges

de ce joli cours d’eau

qui constitue mon univers.

Hidden in the reeds,

I enjoy watching the humans

taking walks along the banks

of this pretty stream

that makes up my universe.

Souvent,

un chien les accompagne.

Je m’en méfie terriblement,

car les chiens reniflent partout

pour nous chasser…

There is often

a dog with them.

I distrust them dreadfully

for dogs sniff all over the place

to drive us away…

Il y en avait un pourtant

qui n’était pas chasseur
