Read two more of the Comtesse de Ségur's fairy tales in the original French beside a clear English translation, one sentence at a time. In "Le bon petit Henri", a boy sets out alone to find the plant that will cure his dying mother, and must get past a talking crow, a fox and a swarm of wasps to reach it. In "La petite souris grise", a little grey mouse leads Rosalie to a forbidden casket, and curiosity costs her dearly.

Every sentence is aligned French-to-English, so you always know exactly what you are reading. Tap any word for an instant definition, listen to natural audio in both languages, and follow the highlighted word alignment as the story is read aloud.

Ségur wrote for children, so the French is warm, direct and full of dialogue — some of the most approachable classic prose a learner can read. Twelve short chapters make it easy to read a little every day.
