Abstract
Like the other books in the Gai Moulin series, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a second, longer story echoes the lesson of the fable. Here that story is Jean Pointu et le Forgeron. Jean Pointu wears a pointed cap and works as an apprentice at a pastry shop. He is good but he brags. His blacksmith friend Tapenclume is just the opposite. Pointu invites Tapenclume to dinner in the shop, using his master's utensils and food, but dinner is interrupted, so Pointu thinks, by the unexpected return of his master. It turns out to be a false alarm, but for Tapenclume the evening is already spoiled. He invites Pointu to his place the next day. There is a great last detail illustration of the two mice in fear. Mulder appears nowhere in the booklet, but it is on both the front and the back cover. The cover is crimped.
