I found this snippet far faster than other snippets in this same podcast. It’s like the story ended and she picked up the pace to say goodbye. Did it feel the same to you?

J’ai trouvé cette idée très poétique et en même temps, cela m’a rappelé mon enfance.
Si vous ne connaissez pas Charles Perrault, je vous invite à découvrir ou plutôt à redécouvrir ses contes par exemple sous Wikisource.
Ma petite histoire d’aujourd’hui est également terminée. Je vous fais la bise et vous dis à bientôt pour une autre balade !
