The Baker from a Small Town
Le boulanger d’une petite ville
In a small French town lived a baker named Jean.
Dans une petite ville française vivait un boulanger nommé Jean.
His bakery was on the corner of an old street and opened at five in the morning.
Sa boulangerie se trouvait au coin d’une vieille rue et ouvrait à cinq heures du matin.
Every morning, Jean woke up before dawn to bake fresh bread and croissants.
Chaque matin, Jean se levait avant l’aube pour préparer du pain frais et des croissants.
He knew almost all his customers by name.

One winter, a famous chef from Paris came to the town.

By chance, he entered Jean’s bakery and bought a baguette.
Il est entré par hasard dans la boulangerie de Jean et a acheté une baguette.
The bread was so delicious that the chef came back the next day and offered Jean to come to Paris to work with him.
Le pain était si bon que le chef est revenu le lendemain et a proposé à Jean de venir à Paris travailler avec lui.

He said, “This is my home, my neighbors, and my friends. I am happy here.”
