THE POOR FISHERMAN.
Once there was a man and his wife.
They had no house.
They lived in the fields.
And they slept at the foot of a tree.
The man caught fish.
He was a fisherman.
The man was  happy.
He said " why do men live in houses".
"This tree is my house".
"We have no house".
"We have no bed".
The fields are my bed.
But his wife was not happy.
She said  "why did I marry a poor fisherman".
We have no house.
We have no bed.
One day .
The fisherman went to the sea to catch the fish.
He put his net to  the water.
Then he sat on  a stone.
The sun was hot.
And he fell asleep.
When he awoke
He took his net.
There was one fish in the net.
It was large and golden.
"a beatiful fish".
He was very happy
He said"my wife will be glad".
"When she sees this beatiful fish".
Then the fish spoke.
He said "good man ".
Do not kill me.
Put me back to the sea.
The fisherman said "Can you speak?".
I didn't see a fish that  could speak.
The fish said " Good Man".
"Put me back to  the sea".
"I do not eat a fish that can speak".
Then he threw the fish  into the sea.
The fisherman went back to his wife that night.
He had no fish.
So they had no food.
He said to his wife.
" I caught one fish".
But the fish spoke.
So I threw him back into the water.
I can   not kill  a fish .
Because it  can  speak.
The Fisherman's wife said.
It is a wizard.
It was not a fish.
But some wizard can become a fish.
The fisherman said.
"I do not know". 
"if it was a wizard".
"The fish did not tell" said the fisherman.
 The fisherman's wife said.
"Did you ask him for anything".
 "I did not ask him for anything"  said the man.
"Why do we live in the fields".
"You must  want  a hut".
 next day.
the fisherman went back to the sea.
He stood on the stone .
and he called.
"Man of the sea".
"Come to me".
Then the fish put his head out of the water.
and it asked. 
"What do you want?".
The fisherman said"I do not want anything".
But  my wife wants to live in a hut.
"Go back to your wife " said the fish.
You will find her in a hut.
The fisherman went back to his tree.
He saw a hut.
It was a new hut.
It was very pretty hut.
It had two pretty windows and.
It had one blue door.
There was a pretty garden at the back.
There was pretty flowers.
There were hens.
He went into the    hut.
There was one room.
The sunlight was coming in through the window.
And the room was full of light.
His wife was sitting at the table.
"You must be happy now" said the fisherman.
"It is a pretty hut" said his wife.
For some days
The fisherman's wife  was happy.
 The fisherman came home one night.
His wife said to him.
"I am not happy in this little hut".
The hens run in my room.
We must live in a good house.
Go now to the fish.
 Want  a house.
The fisherman went to the sea.
He stood on the stone.
and he called.
"Man of the Sea".
"Come to me".
The fish put his head out of the water.
and it asked.
"What do you want".
The fisherman  said "I do not want anything".
"but my wife wants a house".
"Go back to your wife" said the fish.
"You will find her in a house".
The fisherman went back to his hut.
He saw a house.
It was a very pretty house.
The house was made of stone.
There were roses at the side of the door.
There was a pretty garden.
The house had two doors.
There were six windows at the front.
There were six windows at the back.
The fisherman found his wife inside the house.
He said "  you have a beatiful house".
"and you must be happy" .
She said "The outside of the house is pretty".
But the rooms are not very large.
For some days
The fisherman's wife  was happy.
Then she said .
"We live in a pretty house".
But you are fisherman.
and I am a fisherman's wife.
No one comes to see us.
No one speaks to me in the street.
"What do you want?" asked the fisherman.
"I want you to be a king".
then I shall be a queen.
We shall live in a big house.
We shall get what we want.
The rooms will be full of servants.
They will do what we ask.
The fisherman said "I do not want to be a king".
I want to be a fisherman .
 and I want to live in the fields.
"But I  want to be a queen" said his wife.
The fisherman went to the sea.
He stood on a stone and said.
"Man of the Sea".
"Come to me".
Then the fish put his head out of the water and said.
"what do you want now".
The fisherman said "I do not want anything".
"But my wife wants you to make her a queen".
The fish said  "I  will make her a queen".
"Go back".
"You will find her a queen".
The fisherman went back
He found a big house.
there were servants at the door.
Two servants  took him ito a large room.
his wife was sitting  there.
She had the clothes of a queen.
"you must be happy now" said the fisherman.
"You are a queen".
"You  have this big house".
"You have a lot of servants".
For some days  she was happy.
there was sunlight.
She went into the garden.
And the servants are in red coats.
Then the rain came.
It rained  for many days.
and there was no sunlight.
She could not go into the garden.
Then the fisherman's wife said.
"I am a  queen".
"I do not want this rain".
"I want the sun".
 She said to the fisherman.
"Go and ask the fish  to make me Queen of the Sun".
The fisherman went to the sea.
He stood on the stone and said.
"Man of the Sea,come to me".
Then the fish put his head out of the water and said.
"What do you want now?".
"SPEAK".
The fisherman said "My wife wants you to make her Queen of the Sun".
The fish said "Your wife will not be happy".
"You will go back to the fields".
"and You will sleep at the foot of a tree".
The fisherman went back .
The big house and the garden were not there.
His wife was sitting at the foot of a tree.
There was no rain.
There was sunlight.
There were flowers in the fields.
She said "It is good to be away from all servants".
"Look at the sun shining in the sky".
"I am happy now".
