Back at the end of\u00a0mai<\/strong> (May) \/\u00a0<\/em>d\u00e9but juin<\/strong> (start of June<\/em>) I shared a couple of\u00a0contes<\/strong> (stories, short tales)<\/em> that I found online. I shared them both because they had some good vocabulary and because I was fascinated by the morality they (attempted) to share. Both tales reflected both a simpler and a more simplistic view of\u00a0la bonne conduite<\/strong> (good\/proper behavior<\/em>) for boys and girls of a certain time.<\/p>\n

In digging deeper into the original source text, I found two more\u00a0contes<\/strong>\u00a0que je voudrais partager avec vous<\/strong> (tales that I would like to share with you<\/em>). This week we’ll look at some more advice\u00a0pour les gar\u00e7ons<\/strong> (for the boys).<\/em><\/p>\n
