Content : “I have a crown! I am the King!"
With these words, the monkey who wanted to be king imposed his orders on all the monkeys in the area. No one dared to contradict him until the day a little Capuchin from another country comes and disturbs his authority…

With this story, the theme of democracy is approached very simply for children by using a fable.
