rêveur est si absorbé par sa lecture qu’il ne remarque pas la présence de l’intrépide souris. Minime grimpe sur son épaule et en profite pour lire un peu de poésie. Lorsque l’homme se met à gribouiller des notes de musique sur un coin de nappe, Minime est de plus en plus intrigué. Mais il a aussi très faim!
