The children's coupé show "His Donkey's Musketeers", consisting of "The Disobedient Rooster" and "His Donkey's Musketeers", combines educational goals with artistic delight. In "The Disobedient Rooster", a series of actions with an educational message are linked: it is necessary to be obedient, to wash yourself in the morning with cold water, not to forget gymnastics, etc., encouraging friendship, honesty, courage. The second part, with a fable aspect, takes place in a forest where the Bear, the Cat and the Rooster live in harmony in the same house. The Raven, the forest postman, brings them terrible news: the Donkey, a stupid and evil king, surrounded by villainous courtiers, has ascended the throne of the king of the forest, usually occupied by the lion. The three decide to become musketeers and infiltrate the Donkey's guard through a ruse to bring justice. True and brave friends, they overcome all obstacles and restore justice to the forest. The Nightingale, a symbol of freedom, has been imprisoned, but she is saved and in her place, in the dungeon, the usurpers, the Donkey, the Fox and the Wolf, enter.
