Nestle Tortoise and Hare

 

Young René has developed a pattern.  He works poorly all year long, but then races through his work at the end.  One day he pays for this fault.  His classmates have all been invited to a cup of Nescao with buttered bread.  René, sure that he can get there quickly, arrives late.  Every drop of that delicious Nescao has been consumed!  In the picture we see René just entering through the drapes at the upper right.  The other children are not only enjoying the Nescao; they have also found the "vignettes," stickers to put into their Nestle albums, so that they can get 50 Francs for completing an album – and have a chance besides at a ticket in the National Lottery!
