Les Trois Brigands (A Children's Story]

Here is a video adaptation of Tomi Ungerer's story The Three Robbers. The French translation was published by L'école des loisirs, which specializes in children's books. I read Les trois brigands to my daughter when she was a little girl. I hope you enjoy this story as much as she did. Enjoy the extracts and look for the book.

Extract 1:

The first robber opens the carriage door and immediately shuts it.
The second one walks up and asks: "Qu'est-ce qui se passe?" [What's going on?]
The first one answers: "Y'a rien dedans! Juste une petite fille." [Standard grammar and spelling: Il n'y a rien dedans] [There is nothing inside. Just a little girl.]
Third robber: "Une petite fille?" [A little girl?]
