Comme je sais un peu lire le chinois, j’ai choisi des histoires qu’à ma connaissance, tu ne trouveras pas ailleurs en français ou en anglais. J’ai essayé de trouver des thèmes variés, sans oublier les animaux qui nous donnent souvent des leçons d’humanité, et l. a. magie, castle importante, vehicle sans elle que deviendrions-nous ? Grâce à ces contes, tu apprendras que des dragons vivent au fond des grottes, que les jeunes filles peuvent se transformer en lapins, que l’avenir se lit au fond d’un puits, pourquoi les chiens courent après les chats et, plus essentiel encore, quel est celui qui possède un cœur sincère.
