THE GOLDEN FISH
Once upon a time, in a land far far away lived a very poor couple in a shack
not far from the edge of the sea. Their only means of food was the fish that
the old man caught in the sea. One morning, as was his usual routine, the
fisherman took his fishing net down to the sea. But on this day something
unusual happened, on this day the fisherman caught the Golden Fish. The Golden
Fish begged for the fisherman to spare his life, and offered in return to
grant the fisherman any wish he would like. But the kindhearted fisherman
asked for nothing, and returned the Golden Fish to the sea. However, the
fisherman's wife was not so kindhearted, she became irate when he related the
story to her, and sent him back to the sea to catch the Golden Fish and to
wish for a loaf of bread. The fisherman did as he was told, he caught the fish
and wished for a loaf of bread. When he returned home he found a fresh baked
loaf of bread on the table.
The fisherman's wife then decided that she wanted more than just a loaf of
bread. The next morning she sent her husband to ask for a new. He returned
home to find his wife with a new washtub, but she still wasn't satisfied.
The following day the husband was sent to the sea to find the magic fish and
to wish for a new house. This wish was, like the ones before it, granted to
the fisherman. But the fisherman was sent back again the next day to wish that
his wife would become governor. This time he returned home to find his wife
dressed in riches and ordering about servants. But the woman was still
unhappy, and demanded to become Queen of all the land.
Eventually, even being Queen of all the land did not satisfy the wife, and so
she sent her husband once last time to the sea to catch the Golden Fish and to
wish that she would be ruler of the sea and of all creatures who live in it.
The fisherman caught the fish, and made the wish. However, when he returned
home his wife was dressed in her old rags, standing by her old broken washtub,
inside the old shack, with not even a loaf of bread to eat.
