fable. The story unfolds in a quaint forest setting where Brisquet lives with his wife, Brisquette, and their two young children, Biscotin and Biscotine. They also have a devoted dog named Bichonne. One day, despite Brisquet's warnings to keep the children and Bichonne safely at home while wolves roam the area, they venture out. Tragically, Bichonne sacrifices herself to save the children from a wolf attack, demonstrating unparalleled loyalty. Although Brisquet manages to kill the wolf, he arrives too late to save Bichonne.
