Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Choupinette – yes, that was her daddy’s little nickname for her ! “Ma Choupinette d’amour !” She was 4 and a half years old. She was an ordinary little girl in appearance, but she possessed two special powers. Every time she smiled, something magical happened, and the second power was that she could move as fast as lightning thanks to her magic tennis shoes.

Choupinette lived in the charming town of La Charité-sur-Loire, nestled peacefully by the Loire River. Every day, she strolled through the park with her radiant smile. When she smiled, the birds sang louder, the flowers bloomed, and even the sun shone brighter. The people of La Charité-sur-Loire were always happy when Choupinette was around.

Choupinette loved to play and joke with her dad. They had an extraordinary bond and had created little codes between them. For example, whenever they asked each other something, they used the expression “Adoré de mon cœur” (“Adored by my heart”). For example, Choupinette would say “Papa adoré de mon cœur, can we play cards?” and Papa would say “Oui, on peut jouer aux cartes ma Choupinette adorée de mon cœur”… it was so cute and touching.

She loved playing games and playing jokes on Daddy. For example, when he opened the door to the house, as soon as it was opened, Choupinette was already on the sofa in the living room, and her daddy hadn’t seen her go by. He would call out, “Oh, Choupinette adoré de mon coeur, where are you?” and Choupinette would burst out laughing, saying, “I’m already here Papa adoré de mon coeur! oh la la you’re not running fast enough my daddy” Their laughter filled the house with joy.

One day, a storm and a terrible tempest swept through La Charité-sur-Loire, bringing sadness and grief to all the inhabitants. The laughter of the inhabitants turned to tears as they feared the storm could destroy their homes. They all returned to their homes, closed the shutters and waited for the storm to pass.

Choupinette, with her bright smile and magical tennis shoes, decided to save the day and put a smile back on the faces of the inhabitants of Charité. She knew she had to reach the top of the church to use her power to the full. In an instant, she slipped on her magical super tennis shoes and began to run at incredible speed, so fast that it was like a bolt of lightning passing through the hills and along the Loire.

In the blink of an eye, Choupinette found herself on top of the church, overlooking the whole town of La Charité-sur-Loire. She smiled with all her might, and suddenly something magical happened.

A flash of light pierced the dark sky, and suddenly, the black clouds began to turn gray, then white, then dissipate completely. The storm had disappeared, replaced by an incredible sun that shone brightly and illuminated the city. How could this be! People opened their shutters, and began to come out into the street! They couldn’t believe their eyes! They started laughing and dancing.

Everyone was suddenly filled with joy, and the laughter of Choupinette and her dad echoed throughout La Charité-sur-Loire. La Charité-sur-Loire was flooded with happiness.

Choupinette had become the superhero of La Charité-sur-Loire, thanks to her two incredible powers: her magic smile and her magic tennis shoes. Whenever sadness threatened to set in, she would appear with her dazzling smile and her super-tennis shoes, bringing light back into everyone’s lives.

Wherever she went, Choupinette spread happiness like a gentle breeze. Whether she was running at lightning speed to help someone or inventing a new joke to make the whole town laugh, her presence was always a source of joy. She understood that the real superpower was the smile! That a simple smile can change everything.

Under Choupinette’s influence, La Charité-sur-Loire was transformed. It was no longer the town that had seen a storm driven away by a little girl’s smile, but had become a town where smiles and cheerfulness were commonplace. Every day, the inhabitants woke up smiling, thanking the heavens for the wonders that surrounded them: the joyful singing of the birds, the flowers in full bloom and the sun shining in the blue sky. All thanks to the little heroine with a heart of gold, Choupinette, with her magic tennis shoes. She continued to watch over her town, spreading joy and light with every step.

Every evening, parents in La Charité-sur-Loire would tell their children the story of Choupinette. They reminded them how a simple smile can make a big difference. “Even in the darkest moments,” they said, “never forget that your smile, like Choupinette’s, can bring light and warm hearts. And the greatest of all superpowers is the love and complicity we share with those we hold dear.” And every night, the children fell asleep with dreams full of hope and bright smiles.
