At first, an unprecedented agitation shakes the small village of Moulindrouet. The burning issue? The color of the public benches.
The color of the public benches in the peaceful village of Moulindrouet has always reflected its history, its identity, its values. They are, for the moment, of the most common emerald green. However, a historic decision has just been made by Levon, the village’s wise hedgehog, who suggested a totally surprising color: purple.
“The wise hedgehog has spoken. And when he speaks, we listen,” declared Pierre, the deputy mayor, during the municipal council meeting. “The wise hedgehog has always had a special connection with our village. His word has always been a source of wisdom and guidance.”
There is no doubt that this radical decision will disrupt the quiet life of the inhabitants of Moulindrouet. The lively discussions around the color of the public benches have already sparked heated and passionate debates.
“Green soothes us, it reminds us of the nature that surrounds us, but purple…purple is bold, it’s different, it’s bold,” asserted Germaine, the baker. “Should Moulindrouet be bold? I don’t know. That’s a question for the wise hedgehog, not for me.”
The decision is now in the hands of the inhabitants. The vote will take place next Sunday in the church square after mass. It remains to be seen whether the village of Moulindrouet is ready for this bold change dictated by the wise hedgehog.
