Stories for laughing

Prends un numéro!
(Take A Number!)

Abstract

One morning, just like any other, Hare leaves his burrow for his daily stroll. But he soon finds the path blocked by a strange machine and a crowd of animals. To enter the forest, he must take a number and wait his turn. What a ridiculous situation! As the line grows longer by the hour, the group’s patience is put to the test.

A funny story about waiting that encourages kids to think about the different rules in their everyday life.
