Les petits philosophes

In the garden, Raoul is having fun destroying flowers with his stick. Mina gets angry: why is he doing this? Plume adds that nature should not be damaged. Do you know the reason for this, little philosopher?

Lying on the couch, Plume holds a small paper heart tightly in his hand and sighs loudly. Raoul wants to know what is happening to their friend. Mina thinks Plume is in love. What exactly does that mean?

In the forest, Mina, Plume and Raoul play knights with their toy bows and rubber arrows. When Raoul is 'hit' and falls to the ground, Chonchon does not understand the game. The friends explain to Chonchon that all living things die one day. You, little philosopher, what do you think we do when we die?

Raoul swings high on his swing. He says he is the strongest. Mina explains to her friends that they can all be good at something. What do you think, philosopher? What do you believe being the strongest means?

In the kitchen, Mina and Plume are making chocolate truffles. Chonchon puts a small square of chocolate in his mouth. Raoul puts a little melted chocolate in his mouth. They are both scolded because the truffles are not ready yet. The friends wonder why they often have to wait. They give examples of times when they have to be patient…

After school, Raoul shows everyone his bag of candy. Chonchon and Mina think that Raoul should share with his friends. That way, they will all be happy at the same time. Do you think Raoul has to share his candy?

In the fields, Mina draws a pony grazing in the distance. She is concentrating hard to get her drawing right. Chonchon thinks Mina draws very well. But she disagrees and thinks her drawing is not beautiful. How do we know what is beautiful? Plume suggests that when something is beautiful, your heart jumps. You feel light and happy!…

Sitting on the swing, Mina asks Raoul to push her gently. Soon Roaul is swept away by his momentum. Mina becomes more and more frightened, and the friends tell Raoul that he is being mean. They find out why people sometimes act this way.

In the kitchen, the four friends are making good pancake batter. When Mina asks Chonchon to add a little pinch of salt, he spills a lot of it. Chonchon made a mistake and feels very silly. Is it normal to make a mistake? Is it always bad to make mistakes?
