Once upon a time, in a small cottage, there lived a poor fisherman with his wife. Everyday at dawn the fisherman would go down to the lake and sit down by the edge with a fishing rod in his hand and try to catch some fish. If he caught a lot then the fisherman’s wife would sell them at the market. If he didn’t catch any fish his wife would complain.

“What was I thinking?” she moaned and stamped. “If I hadn’t married a blacksmith I wouldn’t have to worry about my future.”

One day when the fisherman was sitting by the edge of the lake staring at a float, something suddenly tugged the line. The fisherman reeled it in and saw a beautiful, golden fish caught on the hook. When he looked at her closely, she spoke to him in a human voice:

“I beg you fisherman, release me. If you spare my life I will grant you whatever you wish for.”
