In a text by Raoul Ponchon with an illustration by Pierre Morel, the situation is now at the end of winter and the beginning of spring. The ant comes to the Cicada to offer to pay for a song. The cicada, rightfully resentful, asks what the ant did all winter. "I slept!" The cicada answers "Then work now!" Page 5 of the 8-page magazine, 11½" x 15¼". The cover cartoon has a more obscure reference to FK.
