Zouk, and her school friends n° 166 p.35

Today, the children in this big big city are going back to school.
They go on foot, by bus or by car. Allexcept zouk,
she goes by broomstick, like all little witchs.

She is happy to be back at school with her friends and Miss Hypotenuse, her teacher.

"First we are going to do painting and sticking," says miss Hypotenuse.
" That will be fun ! "

But *Zouk is not very good at it. She is soon covered in paint and stickers.
The other children make fun of her. That makes Zouk sad.
(Look, a rainbow dress !)  (More like a right mess !)

"That's enough !" says Miss Hypotenuse. " We are going to sing now.
All together, children, One, two, three..."

( There was once a little birdie who was very, very sad because
 his singing was so very very bad.)

But Zouk, our little witch, sings even worse than the poor birdie !  ==> petit oiseau

The children make fun  of her, "Croak,  croak  == > se moquer de
croak croak ."

They copy her croaky singing. They think it is funny.
But Zouk does not  find  it funny at all. she looks like she is going to cry !

"This is enough !" says miss Hypotenuse. " Zouk may not be the best at singing
but I am sure there is something she is really good at.  Right, Zouk ?"

( I can fly on my broomstick.)  (Broomsticks do not fly !)  (Whydon't you try a vacuum cleaner !)

[vacuum cleaner   ==> aspirateur ]

So Zouk picks up her broomstick and off she goes, flying through the air
upside down, looping ( loop =  une boucle) and diving ( dive= plonger) and staightening up at the last minute.
Zouk is a broomstick champion !

The other children try to fly on a broomstick like her.
But they do not know how. They are not witches.

Now the onlyone who makes fun of Zouk
when she is covered in paint or when she sings badly is.....
...her friend None. But when he does, Zouk turns him into a toad !{toad ==> crapaud}
 Hey ! That is not funny !
