This book is

dedicated to my loving grandparents Pierre and Antoinette Bergues Thegra France and Samuel and Robinah Ntege Kabowa Kampala, Uganda

It is my hope this book will help capture children’s imagination, introduce them to different cultures and languages, and encourage intra-cultural communication.

We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hunc librum dedico carissimis avis Petro atque Antoniae Bergues, de Thegra, in Francia; ac Samueli Robinaeque Ntege Kabowa de Kampala, in Uganda.

Est mihi spes hunc librum fauturum ingenio liberorum, cognitioni diversarum culturarum linguarumque, atque communicationi inter culturas.

Cum omnes ex variis navibus venerimus, nunc tamen in eodem navigio insumus.

There once was a man who lived in Paris, France, named Peter. He was tall with dark brown hair, a black moustache, and a big red nose.

Erat olim vir qui Lutetiae vivebat, in Francia, cui nomen erat Petrus. Celsus erat, ac capillum fuscum, atros mystaces, magnum rubrumque nasum habebat.

Il était une fois un homme appelé Pierre qui vivait à Paris, en France. Il était grand et il avait les cheveux châtains foncés, une moustache noire, et un gros nez rouge.

Coffee and the plate of the day

Cafeum et ferculum diei.

Le café et le plat du jour

He loved his job, because he had made many friends there. But of all his friends, his two very best friends were Roger and Robert. He would play pool with Roger, every Monday night, and cards with Robert every Friday night.

Opus /labor/ in caupona Petrum delectabat, quia multos amicos is ibi paraverat. Inter autem eos duo optimi amici eius erant Rogerius et Robertus. Omnibus diebus Lunae noctu cum Rogerio lusos tudiculares ludebat, atque omnibus diebus Veneris lusos chartarum cum Roberto.

Il aimait son métier car il y avait beaucoup d’amis. Ses deux meilleurs amis étaient Roger et Robert. Il faisait une partie de billard avec Roger tous les lundis soir et il jouait aux cartes avec Robert tous les vendredis soir.
