This video presents a French retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, "The Old Sultan," designed to help learners understand French through storytelling. The narrative centers on Sultan, a very old dog who has lost his teeth and can no longer eat or protect his owners, a poor peasant couple. The husband, believing Sultan to be useless, decides he must kill the dog the following day. His wife, however, pleads for Sultan's life, reminding her husband of the dog's past loyalty and service. Unbeknownst to them, Sultan overhears this heartbreaking conversation. Distraught, Sultan seeks help from his friend, a wolf, in the forest. The wolf, eager to assist, devises a clever plan. He instructs Sultan that the next day, while the peasant couple is working in the fields, he will pretend to attack their young son. Sultan's role will be to "defend" the boy, making it appear as though he saved the child from the wolf. This act of heroism, the wolf reasons, will surely convince the master to spare Sultan's life. The plan unfolds exactly as intended: the wolf stages a mock attack on the boy, who screams for help. The parents, hearing their son's cries, rush back to the house to find Sultan "chasing" the "terrified" wolf away. Overjoyed and relieved that their son is safe, the master praises Sultan for his bravery and loyalty. He declares that he will not kill Sultan after all, and from that day forward, Sultan is treated with honor and respect, remaining a cherished and faithful member of the family. The video concludes with the narrator encouraging viewers to subscribe to her newsletter on aliceayel.com, suggesting a call to action for continued language learning resources. This story serves as an engaging way to practice French listening comprehension and vocabulary, while also conveying a timeless message about loyalty, gratitude, and the value of old friends.
