This seems to be a story built off of La Fontaine's fable, since it features Perrette, a jug, and a male. Perrette fills her jug as Colin looks on. She fills her jug, but he loves her. He describes to her the happiness of lovers. He puts his arm around her. Her jug falls and breaks, and Colin is happy over his mischief. Seeing her cry, he leads her into his house. As Bertrand writes of the set, "largely inspired by La Fontaine." Are these good lessons to be teaching French kids in 1906 or now?
