Once there was a kind fisherman. He lived by the sea in a little house. One day he caught a magical fish. The fish could grant wishes!
The fisherman went home and told his wife. She was very surprised and excited. She wanted to wish for a big house.
The fisherman wished for the big house. They moved in, but his wife wanted more. She wanted fancy clothes and food!
Each time she wished, the fish granted it. The fisherman felt happy, but soon his wife wanted to be queen!
The fisherman wished for his wife to be queen. She sat on a throne, but she wanted even more. She wanted to be the ruler of the sea!
The fisherman wished for her to be the ruler of the sea. But this time, the fish looked sad. The sky turned dark and the sea roared.
Suddenly, the fish took back all the wishes! They lost the house, the clothes, and the throne. They were back to their little house.
The wife was very upset. But the fisherman understood. He said, 'We have each other, and that's enough.'
The wife thought about it and smiled. She learned to appreciate what they had. They lived happily again by the sea.
From that day on, the fisherman and his wife were grateful. They learned that love is more valuable than all the wishes in the world.
