The Golden Fish Keeps a Promise

By L. M. Gask
There once lived a fisherman and his wife on an island

in the middle of the sea. They were so poor they often went
(FOR ENGLISH)
without bread when the fishing did not go well.
One day when the man had been fishing for many
hours without any luck, he hooked a small golden fish with
eyes as bright as diamonds. “Let me go, kind fisherman,” the
little fish cried. “I would not even make a single bite of food
for your dinner.”
The man was so moved by the beauty of the golden fish

that he let him go. Before he swam away, the fish promised
that he would come back if the fisherman ever needed help.
The fisherman laughed, for he could not think how a

little fish could help him, other than providing a bit of food.
He went home and told his wife about what happened.
“What!” she cried. “You let him go? We have not a piece of
food in the house, and I know we’ll be hungry.”
The fisherman’s wife continued to complain at him

until, finally, he decided to go and put the little fish to the
test. He hurried down to the seashore and stood at the edge
of the waves.
“Golden Fish, Golden Fish! Come and help me, please,” he

called. The last word was not out of his mouth when the little
fish popped its head up out of the water.
“You see I have kept my promise,” said the fish. “How can I
help you, my friend?” And when the fisherman made his
request, the fish simply said, “Don’t worry about that. There
will be plenty of food when you get home.”
And when the fisherman arrived home, there was a basket of

bread on the table, and cheese and fruit as well.
