The fisherman and his wife lived on a cliff near the great sea. Every day the fisherman used to go to the cliff and hook fishes for a living. He was happy with his humble life. But he knew well that the wife was not. She was always angry.
The wife: - Look at this filthy hut! The smell makes me sick!
I clean it night and day and it just doesn't work!
The fisherman loved his wife. But she never
stopped complaining. On good days when he
caught two fishes the wife asked for three. If he got her
mangoes, she would ask for peaches. There was nothing he could do to
make her happy.
The fisherman: - Oh, dear! What could I do to make you happy?
The wife: - Get me
out of this stinky hut! I will be happy then.
One day the
fisherman went to catch fish near the
cliff. The water was calm and blue. He sat there with his fishing hook deap
into the sea. A few hours passed by and
he grew tired.
The fisherman: - Hmm! I
guess we will have to live on fruits today.
Oh, wait. I feel something!
The husband
held tightly upon
his fishing rod and began to pull.
The fisherman: - Oh, this
is heavy! Must be a big one.
As the hook came up he was surprised to see a
flounder! He was a colourful and shiny
one.
The fisherman: - Oh! A
flounder! How is
it so heavy? Maybe it has eaten
too much.
The fish: - No, fisherman! That's not
why I weigh more than the other
fishes.
The fisherman: - What! Did
you just talk to me? What just happened? How do you know my name ?
The fish: - I know a lot more about you. I am not a normal
fish. I am an enchanted Prince! Let me go. I will not taste good to you any
ways. Please, don’t kill me!
The fisherman: - Oh! Say no
more! I will certainly not kill a talking fish. Off you go!
The fish: - Ah! Thank
you!
The husband
was excited to tell his wife about the flounder. He rushed home and forgot that
ha had no fish to give to he wife today.
The fisherman: - Honey! I
have something to tell you. Come fast!
The wife: - What? No fish today?
The fisherman: - Oh, no! I had caught a flounder! But he talked. He
told me that he was an enchanted prince.
The wife: - What? What happened then?
The fisherman: - Eh... I let
him go. He is in the sea now.
The wife: - You caught an enchanted fish and let it go just like
that! Why would you do that? We are poor and hungry! We live in this
stinky hut. You could have asked for a
better house at least!
The fisherman: - How can he
give me a house? He can't do that! We must be happy with what we have.
The wife: - I will be happy if I live in a cottage! Didn't you say he was an
enchanted prince? You spared his life.
He can do this much for you. Go back ond ask for a cottage!
The husband
was hesitant but he went back to
the sea. To his surprise, the water had turned a little green and yellow.
The fisherman: - Magic fish! Can you hear me?
The flounder
came to the surface in no time as if it was waiting for the husband to come
back.
The fishaman: -My wife is
not happy!
The fish: - What does she want?
The fisherman : - She wants a cottage!
The fish: - Go back. She already has it!
The Husband
went back and saw that his wife was standing at the wooden door of a beautiful cottage.
The cottage was well kept and clean. It
has furniture and a fire place as well.
The wife: - Honey! Look! The house is so much bigger and
cleaner.
The fisherman: - Yes! We have a fire place too. This is nice, isn't
it? Are you happy now? We can live here forever!
The wife: - Forever...
hmmm... We will see about that.
Let's eat and go to bed.
That night
the wife didn't
sleep well. She kept thinking
what could make her happy. In the morning she was already waiting for the
husband at the dining table.
The wife: - Good morning,
husband! Listen, this house
is small for us. I want a
palace. And I want to be a Queen! Go to
the flounder and ask him to give us a palace!
The fisherman: - What?
Why do you want to become a
queen? This is enough for us.
The wife: - Let me
decide that! Go to the flounder and make me a queen!
The husband
hesitantly walked towards
the sea. The water was purple
today and the winds were gushing.
The fisherman: - Magic fish! Can you hear me? (a bit later he sees
the fish) My wife is not happy!
The fish: - What does
she want?
The fisherman: - She wants a
palace and she wants to become a queen!
The fish: - Go back. She already has it.
When the
husband went back the cottage was gone.
Instead, there stood a tall palace with big brass doors. There were many
servants rushing everywhere. He saw his
wife sitting on a throne. She had a crown on her head.
The fisherman: -You are a queen now!
The wife: - Yes! I am a queen!
The fisherman: - This is nice, isn’t it? Are you happy now?
The wife: - Ummm... No! Being a queen is not enough! I want to become the
Emperor!
The fisherman: - Ehhh.. What! I know what you are thinking.
The flounder cannot make you the Emperor! That's impossible.
The wife: - You don't know that! Go to that fish and make me the Emperor!
The fisherman
hesitantly walked towards the sea. He looked at the brown water and wondered
what could have caused it.
The fisherman: - Magic fish! Can you hear me? (a bit later he sees
the fish) My wife is not happy!
The fish: - What does she want?
The fisherman: - She wants to become the Emperor!
The fish: - Go back. She already has it.
The fisherman walked back home thinking to
himself if his wife would now be happy. As he reached
the palace, there were now golden doors in place of the big brass ones. The
house had grown even bigger. Inside, his wife sat on a golden throne. All the
ministers and kings stood below her throne. She had a golden orb in one hand
and sceptre in another.
The fisherman: - Dear! You really are the Emperor now!
The wife: - Yes, I am! Didn't I tell you the fish could make
this happen!
The fisherman: - Yes, you did. Are you happy?
The wife: - Oh, I don't know that. We will see. We had a long
day. We must go to sleep.
The fisherman
was scared that the wife would make another demand. But he was tired from
running the entire day. He fell into deep sleep the moment he
lied down. But the wife couldn't sleep. She sat up thinking what could make her
happy.
A week passed.
Every night
the fisherman prayed to make his wife happy. But every night the wife sat on
the bed looking at the moon and the stars. Finally one night, she grew tired of
thinking and wanted to rest. But...
The wife: - What? It is morning already! How dare the
sun rose now? Doesn't it know I haven't slept in a week?
(the husband was sleeping)
The wife: - Husband! Wake up! I want to control the sun
and the moon! I don't want them to move without
my permission. I want to become the
Almighty! The Unknown!
The fisherman: - What! Please! Stop this! I can't go back and risk our lives!
The wife: -
You won't risk our lives! I will own both our lives. Nothing will ever touch us. Go to the fish
and make me the Almighty!
The fisherman: - No,
dear! You don't
know what you are asking for!
The wife: - I can't
take this anymore! If you don't leave now then I will be very upset! Very
upset!
The fisherman
wants to see his wife happy. But he knew this was wrong.
Outside, the
clouds circled at the sea and the wind roared.
The fisherman: - Oh, when
will this end? This is so wrong! Huh... The water is so pitch black today. I am
really scared.
The fisherman: - Magic fish! Can you hear me?
(the fish
appears)
The fisherman: - Fish, my wife is still not happy.
The fish: - What does
she want?
The fisherman: - Eh... She
wants to become the Almighty! The Unknown!
The fish: - Go back.
She already has it!
The fisherman
ran back with full speed.
The fisherman: - (on the way running home) Oh! don't know what has
been made of my wife now. I must go there!
(at the house)
The fisherman: - Oh, no! What?
The fisherman
realised that his wife was gone. She was nowhere to be found. He searched and
searched.
He ran back to
the sea. The water was now still and clear. The clouds had parted and the sun
shone brightly.
The fisherman: - Magic fish! Oh, magic fish! Can you hear me ?
Please come back!
(the fish
appeared)
The fisherman: - What did you do to my wife?
The fish: - I granted her wish! She wanted to be the Almighty!
The Unknown! That's what she is. Nobody has seen the Almighty. She is now unknown
to everyone!
The fisherman: - No! Please
give her back to me!
The fish: - I cannot
undo a wish, fisherman!
The fisherman: - Wait!
I know!
Up till now I only asked for my wife. You granted all her wishes. But I
am the one wh saved your life! Grant me
my wish.
The fish: - Hmm... You
are right! What do you want?
The fisherman
took a deep breath.
The fisherman : - I want my
wife to be happy!
The fish: - Go back, friend. She already has everything she
needs to be happy.
The husband
hurried back home.
He was
surprised. He saw his wife standing at
the door of his small hut. But it wasn’t stinky anymore. He ran towards to his
wife.
The fisherman: - Oh. you are back! You are back!
The wife: - Yes, dear! I have realised that palaces and
thrones cannot buy happiness! Let's go home now.
From that day
on the fisherman and his wife never went
hungry for a single day. The wife realised that
happiness lies in the simplest of things, and they lived happily ever
after.
