Les petits pas du temps de Camille

  1. Dans la chambre de Camille, il y a une petite horloge et un grand calendrier.

    In Camille's room, there is a small clock and a large calendar.

  2. Camille regarde l'horloge et pense au.

    Camille looks at the clock and thinks about it.

  3. Elle veut savoir quand viendra le pique-nique du dimanche avec son papa, Julien.

    She wants to know when the Sunday picnic with her dad, Julien, will happen.

  4. Julien entre doucement et s'assoit près du lit.

    Julien comes in quietly and sits down by the bed.

  5. « Quelle est-il ? » demande Camille.

    "What is it?" Camille asks.

  6. « Il est huit heures, » répond Julien, « c'est l'heure du dodo. »

    "It's eight o'clock," replies Julien, "it's bedtime."

  7. « Le dimanche me semble loin; un passe lentement, » chuchote Camille.

    "Sunday feels far away; it passes slowly," whispers Camille.

  8. Julien montre le calendrier et dit: « Sept jours font une. »

    Julien points to the calendar and says, "Seven days make a week."

  9. « Ce s'appelle mai, » ajoute-t-il, « et douze mois font une. »

    "This is called May," he adds, "and twelve months make a year."

  10. « Demain, nous allons dessiner une petite étoile pour chaque jour, et tu verras la semaine avancer. »

    "Tomorrow, we will draw a small star for each day, and you will see the week go by."

  11. Camille sourit, serre la main de Julien, et s'endort, calme comme la nuit.

    Camille smiles, squeezes Julien's hand, and falls asleep, calm as the night.
