Students’ Note:
The Golden Fish
A fisherman catches a golden fish. When the fish announces that
he is a prince under an evil spell, the fisherman throws him back
into the sea. On his return to his hovel, his wife tells him that he
should have asked the magical creature to grant him a wish, and
so the fisherman returns to the sea to call out to the fish and ask
that the lives of the impoverished couple should be transformed -
but the better life that ensues is not quite enough for them.
The Moral of this story:
“You have to be thankful for what you already got and have
to satisfy yourself with what you have.”
