Sule is a 30 minute (two eleven minutes shows) animated television series where a ten-year old African detective named Sule helps other kids solve the meaning of proverbs. Each episode involves children going to Sule’s Proverbs Detective Agency seeking help with understanding the meaning of a specific proverb. Whether it’s Bad dancing does not break an engagement or Do a good deed and throw it into the sea, Sule’s clients have to learn what these proverbs mean so they can both get out of trouble and stay out of trouble.

Of course Sule could easily solve their problems by telling them exactly what each proverb is saying. But why should he? He just loves having fun. And it’s much more exciting for him to take them on an adventure where he can show them what the proverb means instead of telling them. The journey he leads them on is often tricky and troublesome, yet in the end the children experience the proverb’s lesson for themselves, which makes its meaning more impactful to them and to the viewers.
