Je n | Je n'ai pas pris le temps de traduire avant que tu aies la chance de le lire en anglais. Tu verras rapidement le pourquoi de ma question de pour famille (?) et aussi le manque d'humour. Si vous voyer que ce n'est pas du tout acceptable comme pie.ce pour le cabaret, il n'y a pas de problême. Je me concentre plutôt sur le dialogue de la tortue. J'attend de vos commentaires! xo Judith |
