Il \u00e9tait d&#039;une malice sans bornes, et un matin, je me suis r\u00e9veill\u00e9e en entendant Cosmo et sa m\u00e8re crier. Me pr\u00e9cipitant pour voir ce qui se passait, je les ai trouv\u00e9s tous deux couverts de yaourt\u00a0: Cosmo avait fait tomber sa toupie dans son bol et l&#039;avait mise \u00e0 tourner.
