return, with my magical powers, I will give you whatever you want." But the fisherman is very kind. So, without asking for anything, he lets the fish go and returns home empty-handed. When his wife asks why he came home empty-handed,
Speaker A
the fisherman tells her about the talking fish. His wife does not believe him, but still says, "When the fish was ready to give you something, why didn't you ask for anything? You should have asked for a nice wooden house." The
Speaker A
fisherman remembers what she said. The next day, he goes to the sea and calls the fish. Luckily, the fish immediately appears in front of him. The fisherman says, "I had set you free. Can you give me a wooden house in return? My wife is
Speaker A
insisting." The fish immediately agrees and tells him to go home and see it. When the fisherman returns home, he becomes very happy because there is a beautiful wooden house there. His wife is also very happy. This way, both of
Speaker A
their lives become normal again. After this, the fisherman goes fishing every day, but instead of selling the fish and making money, he gives them to poor people. Because of his kindness, most people start liking him. But after a few
Speaker A
days, his wife makes another demand. She says that their wooden house is no longer good enough and she wants a palace-like house. The fisherman refuses, but because of his wife's insistence, he has to go to the sea
Speaker A
again and call the fish. As soon as the fish arrives, the fisherman says, "Can I have a palace-like house? My wife is insisting." The fish fulfills his wish again and tells him to return home.
Speaker A
When the fisherman returns, he sees that where his house used to be, there is now a huge palace. Many servants are working there and his wife is happily laughing while dressed like a queen. Seeing this, the fisherman also becomes happy. Then
Speaker A
he tells his wife that they should thank the fish. But his wife says, "Thank it for what? We only saved its life." Now the fisherman understands that his wife has slowly become very arrogant, but he says nothing. Even though they are now
Speaker A
rich, they still do not know how to behave like royalty. One day, they invite some royal guests for dinner. But the guests insult his wife. In anger, she throws them out of the house.
Speaker A
After this, she tells her husband that she wants to become the queen of the entire area, so that no one can insult her. The fisherman is forced to go to the fish again. The fish fulfills this wish, too, and his wife becomes a queen.
Speaker A
However, the fisherman remains just as he was before and continues giving fish to the poor. But soon, he finds out that people are getting sick after eating the fish because his wife's repeated wishes are causing the sea to become polluted.
Speaker A
Then, one day, his wife crosses all limits and says that she wants to become God. The fisherman gets scared, but his wife threatens him. So, he has to go to the sea again. But, this time, instead of asking the fish to
Speaker A
fulfill her wish, he says, "Make everything the way it was before, and make my wife believe that all of this was just a dream." The fish agrees to his request. Their huge palace turns back into a small hut. When his wife
Speaker A
wakes up, she thinks that it was all just a dream. In the end, both of them once again start living like a simple and happy family.
