Red ink on a cream background. This blotter, like the does not just present a La Fontaine fable. It builds on the fable of FC to offer a new point. The crow is carrying not a "fromage" but an "emballage." The fox speaks not of the crow's possible singing voice but about his "science diététique." The crow lets his package of Germalyne fall, and the fox knows that it will help make up whatever he might be lacking in endurance. This advertisement also announces "100 pour 100 germes de blé."
