Dictée 15 - Que c`est bon!
Quand j`étais petit, j`avais des gouts bizarres. Une fois, j`ai mangé une salade de gazon. Puis, j`ai gouté à ma boule de pate a modeler. Heureusement, maman n`a pas vu cette collation. Maintenant, je déguste des aliments bien meilleurs. Mes préférés sont la laitue et les pommes.
