This 17-page beginner French listening resource is designed for French 1 and can be adapted for more proficient students by adding or removing story details.

ABOUT THE VIDEO

Making a wish in a wishing well usually works—unless there is a traffic jam. When a technical problem prevents the wish granter from doing his job, he must find another way to help two people whose wishes are connected.

This lesson is based on the animated short film The Wishgranter, also commonly written as The Wish Granter.
