قصة الحطاب هي حكاية شعبية فلسطينية

تحكي قصة حطاب فقد حبة فول في بئر مسكونة وبالمقابل حصل على تعويض خيالي من الجن
ولكن فرحته لم تدم طويلا فقد سرقت الأشياء السحرية التي أعطته إياها الجن
ولم يدم حزنه كثيرا أيضا فقد وجدت له الجن الحل الناجع

أتوقع أن هذه القصة تناسب من هم أقل من عمر العشر سنوات

أكثر ما يعجبني في هذه القصة هو النص الفرنسي المصاحب للنص العربي

الحكمة من القصة هي أن من يسرق لا بد أن يأتيه العقاب بشكل أو بأخر

الرسومات تتراوح بين المستوى الجيد والمقبول
