The story of MM is presented in full color in three quadrants across the top of this lively yellow blotter. The first two scenes quote La Fontaine and are true to his version. The third scene shows the young milkmaid with her dropped pail in front of a billboard sign advertising insurance from Compagnies d'Assurances Générales. Here the milkmaid says "If I had known Assurance-Accidents earlier, I would have subscribed."
