Je suis un enfant trouvé. Mais jusqu'a huit ans j'ai cru comme tous les autres enfants que j'avais une mère, car lorsque je pleurais, il y avait une femme qui me serrait si doucement dans ses bras, que mes larmes s'arrêtaient de couler.

One evening a man entered the house, and my childhood suddenly stopped. I learned from him that the woman who cherished me was not my mother, and that he, her husband, had found me on the street one early morning, in Paris, on his way to work. If he had agreed to raise me, it was in the hope of a reward. Eight years later,
