"A small aquarium with a rock and green plants standing on a table next to a bedroom window."

Jojo habite dans un petit aquarium.

Il est sur la table de ma chambre, juste à côté de ma fenêtre.

Dans l’aquarium, il y a de l’eau propre, un joli rocher et des plantes vertes.

Jojo aime se cacher derrière le rocher, surtout quand il y a du bruit. Il a un bel espace pour nager, et il est très content de sa maison.

Jojo lives in a small aquarium.

It is on the table in my room, right next to the window.

In the aquarium, there is clean water, a pretty rock, and green plants.

"A little boy sitting at a wooden table, looking at his fish in his fish bowl."

Le matin, je donne à manger à mon petit poisson.

Il mange vite !

Il est toujours content.

Mais un jour, je regarde mon bocal…

Oh non ! Jojo n’est pas là ! Où est-il ?

Je regarde partout dans ma chambre : sous la table, sous mon lit, derrière la chaise… Je ne vois rien.

Je suis très inquiet parce que je ne sais pas où il est.

In the morning, I feed my little fish. He eats quickly!

He is always happy.

But one day, I look at my bowl…

Oh no! Jojo is not there!

Where is he?

I look everywhere in my room: under the table, under my bed, behind the chair… I don’t see anything.

I’m very worried because I don’t know where he is.

"The little fish hiding behind the rock in the aquarium while the happy boy finds him."

Soudain, j’entends un petit bruit… plouf plouf.

Je m’approche de l’aquarium et je vois Jojo !

Il se cache derrière le rocher.

Quel coquin !

Il voulait jouer à cache-cache !

Je rigole et je suis tellement content.

Suddenly, I hear a little noise… plop plop.

I walk over to the aquarium, and I see Jojo!

He is hiding behind the rock.

What a little rascal!

He wanted to play hide and seek!

I laugh, and I’m so happy.
