One day, while the man was do fishing, he caught a big golden fish in his trap. It was the biggest
catch which he ever had in his life. Surprisingly, this fish turned into a beautiful princess. He felt

tell anyone about the secret that I was once a fish, otherwise there will be a huge disaster”. The
man made the deal and they got married, lived happily and had a daughter.

Few years later, his daughter would help bringing lunch to her father out in the fields. One day,
his daughter was so hungry and she ate his father’s lunch. Unfortunately, he found out and got
