Do you expect something in return when you offer somebody your help? Well, you should not. The wolf in our story however did. He helped his poor old friend, the dog Sultan, by plotting a scene where he takes the owners’ child away and the dog "saves" it afterwards. This they did to prove the dog’s master that Sultan can still be helpful even though he is old. Shortly after the wolf visited Sultan. He was expecting that Sultan was going to let him take away a sheep. Will Sultan agree or he will stand against his "friend"? Find out in "Old Sultan" by Brothers Grimm.
