| Summary | "Les deux nigauds" by comtesse de Sophie Ségur is a children's novel written during the mid-19th century. The story centers around the siblings Simplicie and Innocent, who long to escape their rural life and experience the adventures that await them in Paris. This longing, however, leads to unexpected consequences as their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gargilier, devise a plan to teach the children a lesson about the realities of life in the city. The opening of the book introduces us to the Gargilier family, highlighting the contrasting personalities of the parents and their two children. Mr. Gargilier, feeling exasperated by their children's constant whining about wanting to go to Paris, plots to send them away to teach them a lesson, while Mrs. Gargilier expresses concern for their wellbeing. As the children learn of their imminent journey to the city, their initial excitement turns into a complex mix of joy and apprehension. The narrative elegantly portrays the children's emotions as they prepare for departure, showcasing their contrasting reactions: Innocent's thrill for adventure and Simplicie's misgivings about leaving their parents. Throughout this initial stage, the book sets a humorous and engaging tone, offering a glimpse into the trials and tribulations that the children will face as they navigate their new life in Paris.
