présente en quelque sorte la "morale" du texte qui suit. L'auteur souhaite ainsi initier le lecteur à une sorte de sagesse au ras du sol. Au-delà de l'anecdote, celui-ci trouvera toujours une leçon de vie à tirer. "C'est en méditant les évangiles, confie l'auteur, que m'est venue l'idée d'écrire des fables-paraboles.
