Mr. Paul’s Strange Life
Content : Happy at games, unhappy in love... Such is the strange life of Mr. Paul. Until...
Mr. Paul has always been lucky. Ever since he was a little boy, he has been winning! At the tombola, at the fair... It was getting embarrassing. As an adult, he once played the lottery and won the super jackpot! Even when he stopped playing, his name was still drawn... What was he going to do with all that? He would have shared with his neighbours, but he had no taste for anything. For if Mr. Paul was lucky, he was not regarding love...
One night, though, a storm blew through his house, and he decided to leave everything behind and go on an adventure. He set sail on a raft far from the lotteries and tombola. At the end of his trip, he met his true love, Noëlia, who was planting trees. He helped her, and they lived happily in the middle of their forest, far from the super-winner files.
