Petit-Paul complains about adults and his teacher to his Pantin (Jumping Jack). He would rather play and not learn. However, the Pantin refuses to play with him as long as he has not done his homework; he explains that, without any learning, he will end up as the jumping jack amongst the adults. Petit-Paul is affected by these words and starts working diligently.
