Book preview

Je dormais bien tranquille !

Oh ! Laissez-moi rêver en paix

et filez !

dit Graziella

en coassant paresseusement.

I was sleeping so quietly !

Oh ! Let me dream in peace

and clear off !

said Graziella,

croaking lazily.

---

Laissez-moi faire la sieste,

allongée sur mon nénuphar,

réchauffée par le soleil,

ajouta-t-elle

en nous tournant le dos.

Let me have a nap,

lying on my waterlily,

basking in the sunshine,

she added

turning her back to us.

---

Quoi ?… Ah oui,

vous voulez tout savoir !

What ?… Yes indeed,

you want to know everything !

---

Encore et toujours des histoires !
