[10:47.29]The Fisherman and the Fish
[10:51.44]Once upon a time, there lived an old man and his wife, in Russia.
[10:58.21]They were poor and lived in an old,mud hut near the sea.
[11:05.05]He made a living by fishing.
[11:09.70]One morning, something unusual happened while the man was at work.
[11:17.28]He caught a small, golden fish in his net.
[11:24.12]The fish begged the fisherman to let him go
[11:29.48]and offered to grant the fisherman anything he desired in return.
[11:36.53]However,
[11:39.27]the man was kind and asked for nothing before returning the fish to the sea.
[11:47.53]The man went home
[11:50.87]and told his wife about the wonderful thing that had happened to him.
[11:57.35]She shouted at him angrily and called him a fool for not making a wish.
[12:05.81]The sun was shining as the man did this
[12:10.78]and when he returned he saw a new bucket.
[12:16.55]The fisherman's wife was still not happy
[12:21.59]and demanded that he should find the fish again to ask for a new house.
[12:29.14]The weather was getting bad as the man explained to the fish about his rude wife.
[12:36.79]The fish comforted him and promised to grant the second wish.
[12:43.45]When he returned,he saw a nice,new cottage.
[12:48.91]The next day,his wife said that she wanted to be mayor of the city.
[12:56.18]The waves were getting big
[12:59.94]and the sky was becoming dark as the man apologized to the golden fish.
[13:07.88]Again,like the wishes before,this wish was granted.
[13:14.12]When he returned, he found his wife dressed in expensive clothes
[13:21.07]and giving orders to servants.
[13:25.43]She told her husband that he still had to sleep in the hut
[13:32.20]even though she now had a bigger house.
[13:37.16]She was a very greedy woman and the following week
[13:43.12]she demanded to be made queen of all the land.
[13:49.07]Despite thinking his wife was crazy, the fisherman went down to the shore.
[13:56.73]By now there was a terrible storm.
[14:01.56]there was thunder and lightning,and giant waves in the sea.
[14:08.51]The man shouted as loudly as he coul so that the fish could hear him.
[14:16.27]The fisherman waited but the golden fish never came back.
[14:22.72]When the man returned,
[14:26.06]he found his wife in the old mud hut holding their broken bucket.
