not so calm.
The fish granted his wish and the fisherman went
back home. He saw a beautiful new house, but his
wife was still angry. She wanted to be rich with a
huge house. So the fisherman went back to find the
fish. The sea was dark now and the sky was grey.
The fish granted her wish, but still she wasn't
happy. She wanted to be a queen with a palace and
servants so she sent her husband back to find the
fish. The fish granted her wish, but still she wasn't
happy. She wanted to be the Queen of the Land
and Sea, with the golden fish as her servant.
The fisherman went back to the sea and called the
golden fish. The sea was stormy and there were
clouds in the sky.
"I'm sorry, dear fish!" he cried. "Now my wife wants
to be Queen of the Land and Sea, and she wants
you to be her servant."
The fish didn't answer. It turned and swam away.
The fisherman went home. He couldn't see the
palace or the servants. All he could see was his
small house and his wife. She was poor again and
in front of her was the old bucket.
