Trois petits cochons décident de devenir indépendants, de vivre leur propre vie, et par conséquent de vivre seuls, comme des grands ! Le premier petit cochon se construit une maison faite de paille, le deuxième une maison en brindilles, et le troisième une maison en briques et en ciment. C'est alors que surgit le grand méchant loup, dévoré par l'envie de détruire les maisons des petits cochons... On ne connaît pas l'origine du conte traditionnel Les trois petits cochons, mais on peut estimer qu'il date du XVIIIème siècle environ. Ce conte est devenu célèbre dans le monde entier grâce à son adaptation au cinéma réalisée par les Studios Disney en 1933. La morale de l'histoire ? Tout simplement que construire quelque chose de solide demande certes plus d'efforts, mais permet de profiter plus durablement de ce que l'on a bâti. Cette fable, par sa portée et morale, est intemporelle et universelle. Aujourd'hui encore, nous sommes nous aussi confrontés en permanence aux mêmes choix et aux mêmes dilemmes que les 3 petits cochons :faisons nous les bons choix ? Cette fable ravira les enfants, et les plus grands qui resteront peut être un peu songeurs quand à la portée de cette réflexion.

L'Empereur de Chine, qui ne quitte jamais les limites de son palais, ignore qu'il existe un peu plus loin, au-delà de ses jardins maniérés, des lacs profonds et des bois touffus que les gens du peuple connaissent bien. C'est de là que sort le rossignol au chant mélodieux qui charme l'empereur au point qu'il en a les larmes aux yeux. Aussitôt, un maître de chant se met en tête de fabriquer un rossignol mécanique, couvert de rubis et de diamants, et qui chante, dit-il, aussi bien que le vrai rossignol. En vérité, les pêcheurs du lac savent bien que rien n'égale le chant du vrai rossignol, mais l'empereur, séduit par l'idée de garder un faux oiseau qu'il peut manier à sa guise, chasse le vrai rossignol. Longtemps, la cour et les gens du peuple admirent le rossignol de rubis. Mais la mécanique se détraque... Un grand auteur, une belle histoire, et une morale qui se déguste sans fin : qu'y a-t-il de plus actuel que d'apprendre à nos enfants que tout ne s'achète pas, que certaines des plus belles choses que sont l'amour, l'amitié, la beauté, l'émotion, ne sont pas des marchandises. Qu'il faut savoir apprécier les plaisirs simples, les oiseaux, leur chant mélodieux, mais aussi par extension les arbres, les forêts, les montagnes, la faune, la flore...
