The narrator introduces us to Monsieur pierre, a famous bread maker in Paris. He tells us that he's been dreaming of letting his family try his fresh bread, but he hasn't seen his family in a long time. He says that he doesn't know where his family lives, but that his family probably wants to see him, too. He's going to put some "magic" on the bread so that only his family will be able to eat it. The narrator says that the bread smells delicious, and that it tastes like "daddy's daddy" calling out to his family. The sound of the bread is like a thud, followed by a "bunch of mice" .
