A fisherman and his wife (lived) in a little hut by the sea. One day, while the fisherman (was performing) his usual work, he (caught) a fish who (said) he (was) actually a magical prince as well as a talking fish.
The fisherman (agreed) to let him go.
The wife (did not like) that, and (told) him to go back and ask for a cottage. This wish (came) true, but the cottage (did not be) nice enough so he wife then (sent) the fisherman back to wish for a cattle, then to wish that they (were) the rulers of the country, and then to be emperors.
Finally, the wife (wanted) to be like God. On returning home, the fisherman (found) that his wife (sat) in their humble hut again.
