There once was a fisherman who lived with his wife in a small hut close
by the seaside. The fisherman used to go fishing everyday. One day, as he sat
in his boat with his rod, looking at the sparkling waves and watching his line,
all of a sudden his float was dragged away deep into the water. He quickly intervening
started to reel in his line and managed to pull out a huge fish. "Wow! This will feed us for days. "Much
to his surprise, the fish started to talk and said," Pray, let me live! I am not a real fish; I am an enchanted prince. Put
me in te water again, and let me go! Have mercy o 'kind of fisherman. "The
Astonished fisherman quickly intervening threw him back, exclaiming," I do not want hurt a talking fish! Go on! Go where Came from. "When the fisherman went home to his wife, he told her everything that had happened and how, on hearing it speak, he had let it go again." Did not you ask it for anything! "Said the wife. "No, I did not, what should i have asked for?" Replied the fisherman. "I am surprised you do not Realize what you should have asked for. We live very wretchedly here, in this nasty dirty hut. We are poor and i am so miserable. You should have asked for nice cozy cottage. Now go back and ask the fish that we want a snug little cottage ", said his wife. The fisherman was not sure about this but he still went to the seashore, sat in is the boat, went to the middle of the sea and said : "O enchanted beautiful fish! Hear my plea! My wife want not what i want, and she will not give up till she has her own will, so come forth and help me!" The fish Immediately swimming Came to him, and said, "Well, what is her will? How can I help your wife? "Ah!" Said the fisherman, "she say that when i had caught you, I ought to have asked you for something before i let you go. Shedoes not like living in our little hut, and wants a snug little cottage. "" Go home, then, "said the fish," She is already in the cottage! "So the fisherman went home, and peace be upon him his wife standing at the door of a nice trim little cottage. "Come in, come on in! Look at the beautiful cottage we have. "Everything went fine for a while, and then one day fisherman's wife said," Husband, there is not enough room for us in this cottage, go back to the fish and tell him make me an emperor . "" Wife, "said the fisherman," I do not want to go him again. Perhaps he will be angry. We ougth to be happy with what the fish has given us and not be greedy. "" Nonsense! "Said wife; "The fish will do it very willingly, I know. Go along and try! "With a heavy heart te fisherman went to the middle of the sea and said:" O enchanted beautiful fish! Hear my plea!
