The Magic Fish
Once there was a poor fisherman.
He lived with his wife in a small hut.
One day, the fisherman caught a magic fish.
‘Please let me go,’ said the fish,’
‘And I will make your wishes come true.’
The fisherman let the fish go.
The fisherman told his wife about the fish.
‘Tell the fish you wish for a big house.’
Said the wife.
‘Magic fish, magic fish, I wish for a big house,’
Said the fisherman.
‘You shall have a big house,’ said the magic fish.
When the fisherman got home, there was a big house!
His wife was greedy.
‘Tell the fish you wish for a palace,’ she said.
‘Magic fish, magic fish, I wish for a palace,’
Said the fisherman.
‘You shall have a palace,’ said the magic fish.
When the fisherman got home, there was a beautiful palace!
His wife was very greedy.
‘Tell the fish I want to be a queen,’ she said.
‘Magic fish, magic fish, my wife wants to be a queen,’
Said the fisherman.
‘No, that is not your wish,’ said the magic fish,
‘So it will not come true.’
When the fisherman got home, there was only the old hut left.
