A fisherman sat on the rocks by the sea.
No fish had come to his line all day.
He was just going home.

Jerk! Jerk! what was that?

"Please put me back! Please put me

"That I will," said the fisherman. "I can

not eat a fish that talks."

He put the fish back into the sea and

went home.

"Where is your fish?" said his wife.

The fish came up out of the sea.
"What do you wish of me?" cried he.

"My wife wishes a good home," said

the fisherman.

"Go home," said the fish,

"Your wife has her wish."

The fisherman went back to his wife.

There stood a lovely new home. They had everything-pigs and geese and a cow.

"How fine!" said the fisherman.

Next morning the wife said, "I wish

to live in a castle. Go ask the fish." "Oh!" said he, "please do not make me." “Do as I tell you!" said the wife.

The fisherman went back to the sea.

"Little fish, little fish,

Come, I pray, and talk to me."
