Her first desire is for a “pretty little cottage,” but one wish fulfilled can never be enough for the woman: the next is for a big stone castle; then she gives up on houses and asks to become queen of all the land; the fish grants even that, but as her fourth wish approaches the sea is black under rolling thunder. When the now fearful fisherman shouts his song into the roaring surf,
The fish rose to the top of a wave.
The fisherman said, “My wife wishes the power to make the sun and moon rise and set whenever she chooses.”
“Go to your little old house,” said the fish. “Remain there, and be content.”
And there you will find the fisherman and his wife to this very day.
