There used to be a fisherman who lived with his wife in a small hut close to the beach. The fisherman went fishing every day. One day while he was sitting in a boat with his fishing rod, watching the sparkling waves and seeing its trajectory, suddenly the hook was dragged deep into the water. Quickly he rolled up the reel and managed to bring out a large fish. "Wow! This fish will feed us for a few days." Surprised, the fish began to speak and said, "Pray, let me live! I am not a real fish; I am a prince. Put me in the water again and let me go! Blessed be o 'good fisherman." The astonished fisherman quickly threw it back and exclaimed, "I don't want to hurt a talking fish! Get away! Get away where you came from."
When the fisherman came home, he told his wife whatever happened, how he heard the fish talking and let the fish go again. "Didn't you ask for anything?" his wife said. "No, what should I ask for?" replied the fisherman.
"I'm surprised you didn't realize what you were supposed to ask for. We live very miserably here, in this ugly dirty hut. We are poor and I am very miserable. You must ask for a comfortable and beautiful cottage. Now, come back and ask the Fish if we want a cozy little cottage ", said his wife.
The fisherman was not sure about this but he still went to the beach, sat on his boat, went out to sea and said:
"O beautiful and magical fish!
hear my wish!
My wife wants what I don't want,
and he won't give up until he gets what he wants,
so come out and help me! "
The fish suddenly came and swam to him, and said, "Okay, what does he want? How can I help your wife?" "Ah!" said the fisherman, "he said that when I caught you, I had to ask you something before I let you go. He doesn't like living in our little hut, and he wants a nice little hut." "Go home" said the fish, "He is already in the cottage!" so the fisherman came home and saw his wife standing at the door of a beautiful little hut. "Come in, come in! Look at the beautiful cottage we have." All went well for a while, and then one day the fisherman's wife said, "Husband, there is not enough room for us in this hut, come back to the fish and tell me to make me a queen." "My wife," said the fisherman, "I don't want to go back to her. Maybe she will be angry. We should be happy with what Fish gave us and not be greedy." " Nonsense!" said the wife; "The fish will do it willingly, I know. Go and try!" With a heavy heart the fisherman went out to the middle of the sea and cried out:
"O beautiful and magical fish!
Listen to my plea!
My wife wants what I don't want,
and he won't give up until he gets what he wants,
so come out and help me! "
"What does he want now?" said the Fish. "Ah!" said the fisherman, "she wants to be a queen." "Go home," said Fish; "She is already a Queen."
The fisherman came home and saw his wife sitting on a very high throne made of pure gold, with a large crown on her head two feet high. On each side stood his guards lined up in succession. The fisherman went up to him and said, "My wife, are you a Queen?" "Yes", replied his wife, "I am a Queen!" "Ah!" said the fisherman, as he looked at his wife, "What good is it to be a Queen!" "Husband," she said, "I am delighted to be a Queen." They were happy for a while.
Then, came the time when the wife could not sleep all night. she thinks what to ask for next. Finally, just as he wanted to go to bed, morning came and the sun shone. "Ha!" she thought, she got up and looked at the sun through the window, "I can't keep the sun from rising." In her mind, she was very angry and woke up her husband and said, "Husband, go to that fish and tell him I must be the ruler of the sun and moon." The fisherman was half asleep, but the thought scared him so much that he fell out of bed. "Ah, my wife!" he said, "can't you be happy by being a strong queen?" "No," replied the wife, "I am very uncomfortable as long as the sun and moon rise without my permission. Go to the Fish one more time!" "I don't think this is a good idea," said the fisherman but his wife wouldn't listen. "Why don't you just go and tell Fish to make me Ruler of everything!" his wife said.
Then the man left trembling with fear. As he descended onto the shore, a terrible storm came. The trees and rocks shook and the sky turned black with storm clouds. A huge black wave rose highlike mountains with crowns of white foam on their heads. Unfortunately, the fisherman had no other choice, so he got into his boat and rowed out to sea. He shouted as loud as he could:
"O beautiful and magical fish!
hear my wish!
My wife wants what I don't want,
and he won't give up until he gets what he wants,
so come out and help me! "
"What does he want now?" said the Fish. "I am very ashamed of my wife's greed but I can't do anything. She wants to be Lord of the sun and moon." "Go home," said the Fish, "to your little hut." and it is said that they lived there until recently.
