So I dug the scanner out, and was able to get a shot of Un Petit Garcon et Son Ami, but you'll have a hell of a time trying to read it, so the text is transcribed below (in French and English for les personnes qui ne parles pas la langue Francais...). Please don't correct my French, this was written senior year of high school (Mrs. Erickson's French 5 class), and I have no doubt that there are missing accents, mis-conjugations, and pour vocabulary. However, I could have done worse.

Le Garçon
Il est un petit garçon. (He is a small boy.)
Il a les oreilles grandes, (He has large ears.)
Il a un grand nez, (He has a large nose,)
Et les yeux petits. (And small eyes.)
Sa tête est grande et ronde, (His head is large and round,)
Et il a un bon sourire. (And he has a good smile.)
Il a un cou court. (He has a short neck.)
Ses bras sont courts, (His arms are short,)
Et ses doigts sont hérissés. (And his hands are rough.)

Il porte les mêmes vêtements tous les jours. (He wears the same clothes every day.)
Ces vêtements sont simples, mais (His clothes are simple, but)
Ils sont uniques. (They are unique.)

C’est un garçon qui perd tous les jour, mais (He is a boy who always loses, but)
C’est un garçon qu’on doit admirer, (He is a boy one must admire,)
Pour toutes les années à venir. (For all te years to come.)

Son Ami
Ce garçon a aussi un bon ami, (The boy also has a good friend,)
qui a les oreilles grandes aussi. (Who has large ears as well.)
Aussi les yeux petits, et un grand nez, (Also small eyes, a large nose,)
Aussi il a un bon sourire. (Also a good smile.)

Mais cet ami set différent, (But this friend is different,)
Il porte un collier toujours, (He always wears a collar,)
Et aussi, il a une queue. (And also, he has a tail.)

Cet ami vit les rêves (This friend lives the dreams)
Que l'autre a peur de vivre, (That the other is afraid to live,)
Et cet ami a un peu de succés. (And this friend has a bit of success.)
but often it happens you know / that the things you don't trust are the ones you need most....
