What is Petit diable about?

Amélie adores being first in everything—first to wake up, first to finish her drawing, and first to brush her teeth. One evening, a mischievous little devil appears and starts beating her at her own game. Frustrated, Amélie devises a plan to get rid of him, leaving him outside in the rain all night. However, she soon realises that being first isn't as fun without someone to share it with. When the little devil falls ill, Amélie is the first to want him to get better.
