一天,渔夫捕到一条金鱼。但这条金鱼会说话:“请放我走吧!我会报答你的.”“啊,我的天啊!”渔夫吃惊地叫道,“别担心,我不会吃一条会说话的鱼的。”于是他把金鱼放进了水里。

渔夫回家并把这件事告诉了他的妻子。妻子非常愤怒。

“你多愚蠢啊!”她说:“看看这个破草屋,到海边去,向金鱼要一间小木屋。”于是渔夫来到海边。“怎么啦?”金鱼问。

“我的妻子想要一件小木屋。”渔夫说。“别担心,她会有的。” 渔夫的妻子得到了一间小木屋。

但过了几天,她对此感到厌倦了:“告诉金鱼,让它给我一座宫殿。”渔夫又返回海边。他的妻子得到了一座宫殿。

但她很快又对此感到厌倦:“去叫金鱼做我的仆人,我想当女王。”这次,金鱼变得愤怒了,它一句话也没说就游走了。

渔夫等呀等,但金鱼没有回来。当他回家时,他看见他妻子又回到就茅屋。 Story 40 It’s Unfair
