Bonjour! ^__^ Dunno if anyone's ever heard of this, but it looks fairly cute, and my skills 'au francais' are definitely not up to snuff to deal with it.

An author named Pierre Gripari once wrote a book called 'Le marchand de fessées' - which, translated, means 'the merchant of spankings'. Its a book apparently about a town where children never misbehave, and whose parents never have to punish them, so this merchant - he sells what appear to be birds called fessees (spankings) - has nothing to sell. Having never read the book, I don't know how accurate my description is, buuuut.......

Just take out the spaces, and check it out! ^_^ Its a whole animated cartoon about the story. Even if you can't speak French, the language has enough cognates (words that sound similar) that you might be able to pretend you understand a little of what's going on. It'd be a heckuvalot easier with actual human body language to help you translate, but the voices do help a bit.

Anywho. If anyone wanted to read, comment, translate, or summarize for we poor non-French speakers.... c'est bien, and we're tres grateful.... I know I am anyway.

^_^; Thanks and enjoy!
