There once was a fisherman who lived with his wife in a small hut closeby the seaside. The fisherman used to go fishing everyday. One day, as he satin 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 quicklystarted to reel in his line and managed to pull out a huge fish. “Wow! This will feed us for days.” Muchto his surprise, the fish started to talk and said,”Pray, let me live! I am not real fish; I am an enchanted prince. Putme in te water again, and let me go! Have mercy o’ kind fisherman.” Theastonished fisherman quickly threw him back, exclaiming, “I don’t want hurt a talking fish! Go on! Go where came from.”Whenthe fisherman went home to his wife, he told her everything that had happenedand how, on hearing it speak, he had let it go again.”Didn’t you ask it for anything!” said the wife. “No, I didn’t, what should i have askedfor?” replied the fisherman.”I am surprised youdon’t realize what you should have asked for. Welive very wretchedly here, in this nasty dirty hut. We are poor and i am somiserable. You should have asked for nice cozy cottage. Now go back and ask thefish that we want a snug little cottage”, said his wife.Thefisherman wasn’t sure about this but he still went to the seashore, sat in isboat, 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 won’t give up till she hasher own will,so come forth and help me!”The fish immediately came swimmingto him, and said, “Well,what is her will?How can i help your wife? “Ah!” said fisherman, ”she say that when i had caught you, i ought to have asked you forsomething before i let you go. Shedoes not like living in our little hut, andwants a snug little cottage.” “Go home, then,” said fish,”She is already in the cottage!” so thefisherman went home, and saw his wife standing at the door of a nice trimlittle cottage.”Come in, come on in! Lookat the beautiful cottage we have.” Everything went fine for a while, andthen one day fisherman’s wife said,”Husband,there is not enough room for us in this cottage, go back to the fish and tellhim make me an emperor.” “Wife,”said the fisherman, “I don’t want to go him again. Perhaps he will be angry. We ougth to behappy with what the fish has given us and not be greedy.” “Nonsense!” saidwife; ”The fish will do it verywillingly, I know. Go along and try!” with a heavy heart te fisherman went to themiddle of the sea and said:“O enchanted beautiful fish!Hear my plea!My wife want not what i want,and she won’t give up till she hasher own will,so come forth and help me!”
