Once there was a fisherman. He and his wife lived in a little house. They were very poor.
One day he went to the sea. He wanted to get some fish for dinner. For many hours, he get nothing. Then, in the evening, he got a big. fat fish.
"Please don't eat me!" said the fish. "Tell me what you want. I can give it to you."
The fisherman put the fish back into the sea. He went home and told his wife about the fish. She said, "Husband! I dont like this old house. Tell the fish I want a new house."
So the fisherman went back to the sea. He called to the fish, "Oh, fish!" My wife wants a new house."
"Go home," said the fish. "Your wife has a new house."
The fisherman went home. His wife was in a nice, new house.
There were flowers in the yard, and she was very happy.
But the next morning, she way not happy. She said to her husband,"This house is very small. I want a big house now. Go back to the fish and tell him."
So the fisherman went back to the sea. "Oh, fish!" he called. "My wife wants a big house."
"Go home" said the fish. "Your wife has a big house."
The fisherman went home. There was his wife in a very big and beautiful house. She was very happy.
But the next morning she said, "A big house is nice. But it is not enough, I want to be a queen!"
So the fisherman went back to the sea again, "Oh, fish!" he called. "My wife wants to be a queen!"
"Go home," said the fish. "Your wife is a queen"
The fisherman went home. His wife was now a queen. She had on a beautiful dress. "Now you can be happy, "said the fisherman to his wife.
The next morning it rained. The fisherman's wife said, "I dont like the rain. Tell the fish. I want to stop the rain."
So the fisherma went back to the sea another time. "Oh, fish!" he called. "Help me! My wifw is still not happy. She wants to stop the rain."
"Go home," said the fish. "Your wife ask to much! Now she has nothing."
The fisherman went home. His wife was in their old house again. And once again, they were very poor.
