Script

Narrator: Once upon a time, a poor fisherman lived with his wife in a tiny, broken hut near the sea. Every day, he fished for food.

Narrator: One day, he caught a sparkling golden fish .

Magic Fish: “Please let me go! I am a magical fish. I can grant wishes!”

Narrator: The kind fisherman let it go.

Fisherman: “Go swim free, little fish.”

Narrator: When he told his wife, she was angry.

Wife: “You let it go without asking for anything? Go back and wish for a better house!”

Narrator: So he returned to the sea, which was now a little gray.

Fisherman: “Dear fish in the sea, my wife has a wish for me…”

Narrator: The fish appeared.

Magic Fish: “Go home. You have a nice cottage now.”

Narrator: But the wife wasn’t happy.

Wife: “I want a castle! Go back!”

Narrator: The sea turned darker, and the wind howled.

Narrator: The fisherman returned and made the wish.

Magic Fish: “Go home. You live in a castle now.”

Narrator: Still, the wife wasn’t satisfied. She wanted to be queen… then empress… and finally, she wanted to rule the sun and moon!

Wife: “Tell the fish I want to control the whole universe!”

Narrator: The fisherman sadly walked to the stormy sea.

Fisherman: “Dear fish in the sea, my wife has a wish for me…”

Narrator: The fish rose once more, its eyes dim.

Magic Fish: “Go home.”

Narrator: When the fisherman returned, he found the castle gone, the gold vanished, and his wife sitting in their old broken hut again.

Narrator: And they lived there for the rest of their lives, as they had in the beginning – learning that greed leaves you with nothing.
