Hi Marya,

It is indeed the passé simple which is a narrative tense equivalent to the passé composé . If you want to know more about it , take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson -

Hope this helps!

I had the same question. Although now I understand after reading Cécile's comment, it is not kind to use a tense which most of the users have not learned yet :S
