[FR] Jean de La Fontaine, né le 8 juillet 1621 à Château-Thierry et mort le 13 avril 1695 à Paris, est un poète français de grande renommée, principalement pour ses Fables et dans une moindre mesure pour ses contes. L'école élémentaire Victor Hugo a sur son mur principal une sculpture de la fable :
- Le lion et le rat
Jean de la Fontaine nous dit dans cette fable qu'il est parfois plus utile d'avoir un plus petit que soi, mais aussi que pour obtenir ce que l'on veut, il faut faire preuve de patience.

Jean de la Fontaine tells us in this fable that it is sometimes more useful to have a smaller one than oneself, but also that to obtain what one wants, one must be patient.
