La pieuvre
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
La pieuvre est dans sa caverne. Elle s'amuse avec un crabe. Elle le poursuit. Elle l'a avalé de travers. Hagarde, elle se marche sur les pieds. Elle boit un verre d'eau salée pour se remettre. Cette boisson lui fait grand bien et lui change les idées.
