Le Mystère de la soupe rose
Two bowls served together: one soup is pink, the other purple. Read the story, study the pictures and help Yuna and Malo discover what happened.
The story
A mystery to solve
Yuna vient d’emménager dans le quartier. Aujourd’hui, elle participe à son premier repas à la Maison des voisins. Malo lui a gardé une place. Les deux enfants préparent le menu pour dire aux invités ce qu’ils vont manger. Dans la salle, Nora dispose les serviettes. Dans la cuisine, Camille prépare la soupe. Camille vient leur servir deux bols de soupe. Yuna cherche son crayon près de sa feuille. Quand elle relève les yeux, elle s’arrête : sa soupe est rose. Dans le bol de Malo, la soupe est violette ! Les deux bols sont pourtant blancs. « On nous a servis ensemble… Pourquoi nos soupes n’ont-elles pas la même couleur ? » demande Malo. Yuna regarde vers la cuisine. Elle n’y a vu qu’une casserole. Les invités vont bientôt arriver. Avant de terminer les menus, les deux amis veulent comprendre ce qui s’est passé.
