The Fisherman and His Wife
Once, there was a fisherman. He had an ugly wife. They were poor. One day, the fisherman caught a goldfish. But the goldfish could talk, “Please let me go! I’ll reward you.” “Oh, my God!” cried the fisherman, “Don’t worry. I have no wish to eat a talking fish.” So he put it into the water.
The fisherman went home and told his wife about it. She became very angry. “How foolish you are!” she said, “Look at the hut. Go back to the sea and tell the fish to give me a cottage.”
So the fisherman went down to the beach. “What’s the matter?” asked the fish. “My wife wants a cottage.” said the fisherman. “Don’t worry, she will have it.” So the fisherman’s wife had her cottage. But after a few days, she became tired of it. “Tell the fish to give me a palace.” she said. Then the fisherman went back to the beach again. And the fisherman’s wife had her palace. But she soon got tired of it, too. “Ask the fish to be my servant, and I want to be a queen.”
This time, the fish got angry. It said nothing and swam away. The fisherman waited and waited, but the goldfish didn’t come back. When he went home, he found his wife back in their old hut.
“The Fisherman and His Wife” is a classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. The main characters are a poor fisherman, his greedy wife Isabel, and a magic fish.
The story takes place in a dirty little cottage by the sea. One day, the husband catches a magic fish and lets it go. However, his wife Isabel wants more and more. She asks the fish for a comfortable cottage, a big castle, and even wants to be queen. In the end, they lose everything because of her endless greed and have to go back to their dirty cottage.
I think this is a meaningful story. It teaches us that money and wealth have no value unless we use them wisely and stay happy with what we have.
