In this episode, I narrate Rumpelstiltskin, known in Arabic as Ju‘aydan—a timeless story about promises, cunning, and the power of knowing a name. When a careless boast puts a miller’s daughter in peril, a strange little figure appears to spin straw into gold… for a price. As the stakes rise, wit and courage become her only way out.
