📝 Quick summary of key information
What values can we learn even when the world is at war?
War is scary because it can cause injuries and damage. It changes people's lives and makes the world harder to understand.
Even during war times, you can learn important values. Bravery, teamwork, and kindness are examples of these values.
Being brave during a war means facing fear to help others and protect what is important. It's like being a real-life superhero.
Helping others, sharing what you have, and supporting those in need is what solidarity is all about. It's like being a good friend to everyone.

Madame Jane's Lessons
What values can we learn even when the world is at war?
The Power of Little Actions
While walking with Madame Jane, Sarah and Paul discover a path lined with discreet (1) (2) marks carved into the trees. Madame Jane explains that these are secret signs used by the resistance (3) to find their way in the woods. A gray rabbit watches them from afar, curious about the secrets hidden in these trees. The children then understand the importance of being discreet and brave in the fight against the occupation (4). After observing the marks, Sarah and Paul feel closer to those who risk their lives for freedom. Madame Jane talks to them about the resistance, the brave men and women who fight for a better world. She tells them how, even in the darkest moments, it is possible to find hope and light. Paul, with his shining eyes, listens carefully, while Sarah writes down every detail in her notebook.
Sarah, curious, asks:
« Madame Jane, why are Sarah and Paul so attentive? »
Madame Jane, with a soft and reassuring voice, begins to explain: « The resistors hide to protect people. They help others stay safe. They use discreet signs, like the ones we saw on the trees, to find each other and plan their actions. It's because of these small (5) gestures that the resistance can keep fighting against the occupation. Even in the darkest moments, these gestures show that hope and light can always be found. »
Paul, after listening carefully, then asks:
« Can we help too? »
Madame Jane, with a reassuring smile, says to them:
« Yes, you can help by being discreet and listening well. You can also learn and grow to become strong and brave. »
After talking, they go home. Madame Jane prepares a simple meal. Around the table, she talks about her childhood, the kindness of people, and what she hopes for the future. She tells them how she helped her mother distribute meals to families in need. She speaks about the small actions that can make a big difference. Paul, fascinated, draws a heart on a loaf of bread, symbolizing love and hope. Sarah, on the other hand, writes in her notebook: Even in the dark, a small light can change everything.
Madame Jane, with a smile, explains:
« You see, even small things, like butterflies, can go through hard times and come out stronger and more beautiful. It's like the small actions we do every day. They might seem small, but they have the power to change the world. You can also go through hard times and come out stronger and more beautiful, just like butterflies. »
Sarah writes in her notebook: 'Even in the dark, a little light can change everything.' Paul draws a heart on a loaf of bread. They feel inspired and ready to face challenges. Suddenly, they hear a noise outside. A bird flies off the roof. Madame Jane gets up to see what is happening.
The Values of the Resistance
Madame Jane goes outside. She sees a man on the path. It's Joseph the Postman. He has a thin mustache and carries a bag. He is on his red bike. He speaks softly to the children. Madame Jane waves him in.
Joseph the Postman, after tying up his bike, says:
« Madame Jane, I want to talk to you. You are so wise. »
Madame Jane, after inviting Joseph the Postman in, says: « Thank you, Joseph the Postman. I will read what you brought right away. You know, news from the world is so important, especially in these uncertain (6) times. It reminds us how important it is to stay together and keep hope. »
Joseph the Postman, after putting the letter on the table, said:
« Be careful. There is important news inside. »
Madame Jane, reassuring, then says:
« Don't worry, Joseph the Postman. I will read it with Sarah and Paul. »
Madame Jane comes back into the house. She shows the letter to the children. She explains that the letter talks about her childhood, the kindness of people, and what she hopes for the future. Sarah and Paul listen carefully. They understand that kindness and hope are important.
At the end of the meal, Madame Jane turns off the light and tells a story. She talks about dreams, stars, and butterflies. A black cat comes to snuggle (7) against Paul. Madame Jane explains that even in the darkest moments, dreams can light their way. Tomorrow, in the Flower Meadow, you will understand why, she says. Sarah and Paul feel full of hope and courage, ready to face the challenges ahead. They now know that even in the toughest times, they can find light and hope. They go to bed with light hearts, thinking about everything they have learned and all that they will discover.
