Arthur and Zephir are mischievous, as are all little boys, but they are not lazy. Babar and Celeste visit the Old Lady, and are amazed to hear them play the violin and cello. “It is wonderful!” says Celeste, and Babar adds: “My dear children, I am indeed pleased with you. Go to the pastry shop and select whatever cakes you like.”, 1935

Here are the babies, settled now in the garden and asleep in a big perambulator. Babar and Celeste receive the congratulations of their friends. Almost everyone brings a gift. Potifour, the farmer, and his wife bring fruits from their own orchard; the hens offer some eggs; the gardeners some flowers. The bakers present a cake, and Cornelius brings three silver rattles., 1937

A week later, in Babar’s drawing room, the Old Lady says to her two friends: “Do you see how in this life one must never be discouraged? The vicious snake didn’t kill me, and Cornelius is completely recovered. Let’s work hard and cheerfully and we’ll continue to be happy.”, 1935
