Bedtime Story
Join Jack, the fisherman, as he encounters a magical fish. His wife's greed leads them on a wild journey, revealing the importance of contentment.
Once there was a poor fisherman, named Jack, who cast his net every day. He lived in a little hut by the sea, with waves that danced and played. One bright morning, he felt a tug, unlike the usual catch. As he pulled in his net, a magical fish swam, a sight so rare to match.
The fish spoke in a voice, gentle but clear, "Release me, kind fisherman, and you shall have a wish, oh dear! I can grant you three, but use them with care, for greed can lead to troubles you may not wish to bear."

Jack, unsure, let the fish go, and raced back to his wife, who was waiting for his tale. "What did you catch?" she asked, her eyes wide like the sea, but Jack only smiled and said, "A fish that can grant wishes! Imagine, oh imagine, our life could be so free!"

His wife, named Lina, had dreams that soared high. She wanted a grand house, with windows to the sky. "Use your first wish, Jack! Let’s live in style, with riches to share, let’s bask in the lifestyle!" So Jack wished for a house, big and bright, and their plain hut turned into a beautiful sight.

At first, they rejoiced, living in glee, but soon Lina’s eyes sparkled greedily. "More! More! I want to be the queen of this land! Use your second wish, a castle so grand!" Jack sighed, but he loved her; he wished it anew. The castle appeared, shining and bright, as if kissed by the dew.

Days passed like clouds, heavy with desire. Lina was still not happy, her heart grew with fire. "I want to be the queen of the sea, my dear! Go back to the fish, and wish without fear!" Jack trembled inside, but he couldn’t say no. "Alright, dear Lina, let’s see how far we can go."
He found the fish, and with a voice filled with dread, he wished for Lina’s wish. The fish sighed and said, "As you desire, dear Jack, but I warn you to heed—too much greed can destroy what you may not want to bleed."
Suddenly, the waves roared, and the skies turned grey. Lina was dressed in jewels, as the sea swept her away! She had become a queen, with power in hand, but a storm was brewing, fierce like the sand. The castle crumbled and washed away, taking their dreams along with the day.
Jack, now alone, sighed on the shore, with nothing but memories of what was before. The fish appeared again, glimmering bright, and said, "What have you learned on this fateful night?" He realized he had lost it all in the chase, for sometimes true happiness lies in a simple place.
So he wished to go back to his old life of peace, to live simply, to learn, and let his greed cease. The fish granted his wish with a flick of its tail, and Jack found his hut, where love would prevail. He told stories of wisdom to all those about, that true joy is not in riches, but in living without doubt.
