Une année normale a 365 jours. Mais tous les quatre ans (every four years), il y a une année bissextile : a leap year, avec 366 jours. Le jour en plus, c'est le 29 février : the 29th of February. En anglais, to leap veut dire « bondir » : comme si l'année faisait un saut ! Les enfants nés ce jour-là ne fêtent leur vrai anniversaire que tous les quatre ans.
