Nestle WL

The writers on the verso are at some pains with this story's application.  Two children are enjoying big containers of four of Nestlé's great candy: Mintips, Anitips, Réglistips, and Eucalyptips.  A rascal comes and takes them away.  He can because he is stronger than they are.  So, children, you need to be stronger and more energetic – not to take away like this rascal but to defend.  Remember Maréchal Lyautey's remark in Morocco: "When people know your strength, you will not have to use it."  Réglisse, I have just learned, is licorice.  What a bad boy that fellow in the cap is!
