Doctor Oliver’s Discovery
La découverte du docteur Oliver
Doctor Oliver had spent his whole life among books, flasks, and notes.
Le docteur Oliver avait passé toute sa vie parmi les livres, les flacons et les notes.
Since he was young, he had dreamed of creating a cure for a rare disease.
Depuis sa jeunesse, il rêvait de créer un remède contre une maladie rare.
Every day he went to the laboratory, even on holidays and in the coldest winter days.
Chaque jour, il allait au laboratoire, même pendant les jours de fête et les hivers les plus froids.
He tried new mixtures, wrote down the results, and started again.
Il essayait de nouvelles mélanges, notait les résultats, puis recommençait.
Years passed, Oliver’s hair turned gray, but he never gave up.
Les années passèrent, les cheveux d’Oliver devinrent gris, mais il n’abandonna jamais.
Sometimes neighbors laughed, saying he was wasting his life on “jars with liquid.”
Parfois, les voisins riaient en disant qu’il perdait sa vie avec “des bocaux remplis de liquide”.
But one morning, the flask on his table began to glow with a soft blue light.
Mais un matin, le flacon sur sa table se mit à briller d’une douce lumière bleue.
Oliver understood — the formula was ready.
Oliver comprit — la formule était prête.
With trembling hands, he tested the result, and the test showed: the medicine worked.
Les mains tremblantes, il vérifia le résultat, et le test montra que le médicament fonctionnait.
The next day he took the discovery to the hospital, and the first patient recovered.
Le lendemain, il apporta la découverte à l’hôpital, et le premier patient guérit.
When people thanked him, Oliver simply smiled.
Quand les gens le remercièrent, Oliver sourit simplement.
He knew that all those years had not been wasted.
Il savait que toutes ces années n’avaient pas été perdues.
