The golden fish


Once upon a time there was a poor fisherman who was trying to
catch a fish all night but he couldn't. It was almost dawn when he
threw his fish-hook and thought: ''Oh my God! What a misery!
Today my kids will die!''
Suddenly it seemed that a fish was hooked .He looked at the water
and what did he see? A golden fish !! He was about to unhook it
when he heard a voice saying:'' Throw the golden fish into the sea
and something good will happen to you!''
''O.K. then ,I will.'' the fisherman said.'' One fish won't feed my
family any way.''
And so he did. When he threw the golden fish into the sea ,he heard
the same voice saying:'' What do you wish?''
''To go home and find foods and bread.'' the fisherman said.
As soon as he reached his home he found everything the voice had
promised.
He told his wife what had happened but she said:'' Oh my poor
husband ,instead for asking for something really good ,you asked
for foods and bread.''
''O.K. then .In case I catch the golden fish again, what do you want
me to ask for?'' the fisherman said.

''Ask for palaces ''his wife said.


The other day, poor fisherman threw his fish-hook into the sea
again and caught the golden fish .He was trying to unhook it when
he heard the same voice:'' Throw the golden fish into the fish and
something good will happen to you!''
He threw it into the sea and the voice again:'' What do you wish ?''
''Palaces '' he said,
He went back home and what did he see? Beautiful palaces!!
But his wife still complained:' 'Oh my poor husband! Go and catch
the fish again and ask the fish to make us king and queen!''
So he went to the sea again as he did the previous days, heard the
voice again and asked for what his wife had told him.
Then he went home and what did he see? His house was a shack
and his kids were hungry again!!!!
