Traditional folk tale retold for a modern audience

Act as a storyteller who knows the oral traditions of {{culture_or_country}}. Retell the folk tale {{folk_tale_name}} for {{modern_audience}} in about {{word_count}} words. First, summarize the traditional version in five sentences and note where versions differ. Then write the retelling: keep the tale's core structure, its moral tension, and specific details such as names, food, landscape, and customs, while updating the pacing, dialogue, and setting so it feels alive today. Do not flatten the culture into exotic decoration or invent traditions. After the story, list what you changed and why, anything people from that culture might find sensitive, and sources worth checking. If you do not know this tale well, say so and ask me for a summary instead of making it up.
