Long ago, there was a great fisherman in the land. He lived with his wife. One day, he went for fishing and caught a golden fish. The golden fish begged him that “please forgive me, don’t kill me”. Then the man let it go back to the water and the man went back home. When he reached home, he told his wife that “today I didn’t catch anything, I only caught a golden fish and I felt pity for it, and I let it go. The wife told him that he had done a bad thing; he would have caught the fish, demanded from it for anything he wanted, and would get it. Then, the woman told her husband that “go back and tell the fish that I want a good house”. The man went back to the fish and told it, “Fish, Fish, my wife wants a good house”. The golden fish replied that “go back home you will find the house already there for your wife”. When the man reached at home, he found a very beautiful house. He then asked his wife if she was happy, and the wife told him that she was happy. However,
at night, the woman failed to sleep till morning. In the morning, she told her husband that she didn’t get sleep.
The wife told her husband again to go back and tell the golden fish that she didn’t sleep, so she wanted to sleep. And another request was that she wanted to be a queen. The man obeyed and went and told the golden fish that “Fish, Fish” and the fish replied that “what can I do for you”? Then the man told it that “My wife said that she wants to sleep, and another thing is that she wants to be a queen”. Then, the golden fish told him that “go back home, you will find already your wife has become a queen in her kingdom’’. When the man reached at home, he found already the woman had become a queen.
But as if that was not enough, later, the wife again sent her husband that “go back and tell that golden fish that I want to be God”. Then the husband was so scared to hear his wife wants to be on the same level with God. And then the husband reluctantly went and told the golden fish that “my wife told me to tell you that she wants to be god who cannot be seen or who is invisible”. And the golden fish told him that, ‘’go back home and you will see it happening”. When the husband reached at home, he never saw his wife anywhere and he was so scared and immediately he went back to the golden fish and told him that, “Golden fish I can’t see my wife. Please bring her back because am so scared”. The golden fish told him that ‘’go back home you will find your wife home’’. And when the husband reached home, he saw his wife and he was very happy. But later the husband advised his wife to be contented with what she has got.
