The Fables of Jean de la Fontaine helped the ordeal.

The French family taken hostage in Cameroon are back in France and are describing their ordeal. Four children, Mum, Dad and Uncle were the seven members of a family taken hostage by Islamists. They were held under a tree exposed to the elements with relentless sun and only a small canvas to protect them. They had with them a book for the children " the Fables of Jean de la Fontaine" which they read each day. All the family now are undergoing counselling.
 (presumably not from reading the Fables)
