Fisherman and A Golden Fish: Long, long ago, there lived an old fisherman and his wife. They lived in a hut beside the sea. The fisherman used to catch fish with his net and his old wife used to make thread. Thus they were passing their life.
One day, the fisherman went to the sea with his net. He threw the net and pulled it up. But there was some mud and nothing else in the net. The second time, came up some grass. The third time, a nice golden fish was caught. The fisherman was very glad to see it. But when he was about to touch it, it requested him to set it free and let it go. It also promised to give him all that he might ask for.
He requested the fish to place him above want. He reached home and found a palatial building with all amenities for comforts. But his wife was very greedy and told him to demand more to the fish. The old man called the fish again. The golden fish came to him.
He tried to utter the words of his wife many times but he failed. Finally, he said that he didn’t want anything. And added that his greedy wife had forced him to come to it once again and her greed knew no bounds. This time, the fish said nothing in reply and went down deep into the blue sea. The old man came back home. He found to his surprise that his old wife was sitting in front of the old hut.
