Le yachting
Language: French (Français)

Quel temps ! Le vent souffle comme un phoque. Le yacht danse. Il a l'air d'un petit fou. La mer est démontée. Pourvu qu'elle ne se brise pas sur un rocher. Personne ne peut la remonter. "Je ne veux pas rester ici," dit la jolie passagère. "Ce n'est pas un endroit amusant. J'aime mieux autre chose. Allez me chercher une voiture."
