The Fisherman and Goldfish

Once upon a time, there was an old man and his old woman who lived by the blue sea. They lived in a shabby mud house for thirty-three years. The old man goes out to cast a net and fish every day, and lets the old woman spin and tie the thread at home.

Once, he cast a net into the sea, and all he got was some sediment. The second time he cast his net, he picked up some seaweed. He cast a net for the third time, and this time he caught a fish, not an ordinary fish-a goldfish.

The goldfish begged and spoke in the servant's voice: "Dad, let me go and put me back in the sea. I will give you a valuable reward: you can ask for anything to redeem my body. " The old man felt strange and a little scared: he had been fishing for 33 years and had never heard that fish could talk.

He let the goldfish out and said to her kindly, "God bless you, goldfish! I don't want your reward. Go back to the sea and roam freely there. "

The old man went back to the old woman and told her this very strange thing: "I caught a fish today, not an ordinary fish, but a goldfish." This fish can speak human words. She asked me to put her back in the sea, and she was willing to redeem herself at a precious price: I want to redeem her body, and she is willing to do anything. I dare not ask for her reward, so I put her back in the blue sea. "

The old woman pointed at the old man and scolded him, "You idiot, you idiot! Dare not take the reward of this fish! Even if you ask her for a wooden basin, ours is already broken. "

So the old man went to the blue sea and saw the sea rippling slightly. He started to call the goldfish, and the goldfish swam up to him and asked, "What do you want, Dad?" The old man saluted her and replied, "Fish Queen, please do a good deed. My old woman scolded me for not letting my old man rest. She wants a new wooden basin, and ours is broken. "

The goldfish replied, "Don't be sad. Go ahead. God bless you. You will have a new wooden basin soon. "

The old man went back to the old woman and saw that she had a new wooden basin. This time, the old lady cursed even more fiercely: "You idiot, you idiot!" " Just a wooden basin, you are so stupid! What's so great about wooden pots? Go back, fool, go back to the goldfish, salute her and ask her for a wooden house. "

So he went to the blue sea again. He started calling for the goldfish. The goldfish swam up to him and asked, "What do you want, Dad?"

The old man saluted him and replied, "Fish Queen, do something good. The old woman has a worse temper. She won't let my old man rest: that nasty old woman wants a wooden house. " The goldfish replied, "Don't be sad. Go ahead. God bless you. You must have a wooden house. "

He went to his mud hut and disappeared without a trace; In front of him, there is a wooden house with a bright room, a white brick chimney and a door covered with oak sheets.

The old lady sat under the window, pointing at her husband and swearing: "You idiot, you out-and-out idiot! How foolish of you to buy a wooden house! Go back, salute the goldfish and say, I don't want to be a humble crop woman anymore, I want to be a hereditary lady.

The old man walked towards the blue sea. He started calling goldfish again. The goldfish swam to him and asked, "What do you want, Dad?"

The old man saluted her and replied, "Fish Queen, please do a good deed. The old woman has a worse temper. She won't let my old man rest: she doesn't want to be a crop woman anymore and wants to be a hereditary lady. "

The goldfish replied, "Don't be sad, go, and God bless you!" " "

The old man went back to the old woman. What did he see? A tall building. His old woman stood on the steps, wearing a valuable mink shawl, embroidered gold headdress, pearls around her neck, gold rings with jewels on her hands and red boots on her feet.

There are many hardworking slaves standing in front of her. She beat them and pulled their hair.

The old man said to his old woman, "How are you, dear lady?" Probably, your heart should be satisfied this time? "

The old woman yelled at him and sent him to the stable to work. A week later, another week later, the old woman lost her temper even more. She sent the old man to the goldfish again: "Go back, salute the goldfish and say: I don't want to be a lady anymore, I want to be the queen of freedom."

The old man was taken aback and pleaded, "Wife, what's the matter with you?" Are you crazy? " ? You don't even walk or talk! You will make the whole country laugh. "

The old lady was so angry that she slapped her husband in the face: "countryman, how dare you argue with me and my hereditary wife?" Go to the seaside. To tell you the truth, you have to go if you don't go. "

When the old man walked to the seaside, the blue sea turned dark. He started calling for the goldfish. The goldfish swam up to him and asked, "What do you want, Dad?"

The old man saluted her and replied, "Fish Queen, please do a good deed. My old woman is clamoring again: she doesn't want to be a lady anymore, she wants to be the queen of freedom. "

The goldfish replied, "Don't be sad, go, and God bless you!" " ! This old woman will be the queen! "

The old man went back to the old woman. Why? In front of him was a palace, and he saw his old woman in the treasure house. She became a queen, sitting at the dining table, served by ministers and nobles, poured her wine and ate fancy cakes; There are majestic guards standing around with sharp axes on their shoulders.

When the old man saw it, he was startled! Facing the old woman, she knelt on the ground and said, "Hello, majestic queen! Are you satisfied this time? "

The old woman didn't even look at him and told him to drive him away. Ministers and nobles came running, grabbed the old man by the neck and pushed him out. At the door, the guard came again and almost hacked him to death with a sharp axe.

A week later, another week later, the old woman lost her temper even more. She sent a minister to find her husband. They found the old man and brought him here.

The old woman said to the old man, "Go back and pay tribute to the goldfish and say," I don't want to be a free queen any more. I want to be the overlord of the ocean, let me live in the ocean, let the goldfish wait on me, and listen to me at will. "

The old man dare not talk back, let alone disobey. So he came to the blue sea and saw a big black wave on the sea: the angry wave churned, galloped and roared.

He started calling for the goldfish. The goldfish swam up to him and asked, "What do you want, Dad?"

The old man saluted her and replied, "fish queen, do something good!" What am I supposed to do with this damn woman? She doesn't want to be a queen anymore, she wants to be a sea overlord; In this way, she can live in the ocean and ask you to wait on her personally and listen to her casually. "

Without saying a word, the goldfish swam into the deep sea with only one stroke of its tail in the water.

The fisherman stood by the sea waiting for an answer, but he didn't wait long. He has to go back to see that old woman-

See in front of him is still the little mud house; His old woman sat on the threshold, in front of a broken wooden basin.
