Dès son entrée à la célèbre école, la Mammouth Académie, Oscar le mammouth laineux entendit parler de ces êtres horribles ; - et sans poils ! - qu''on appelle des humains. Ce qu''il ne savait pas, c''est qu''il les rencontrerait si vite, et que leur plat favori était justement... le mammouth rôti !!!
