“Little fish, little fish, come now to me,
Your tail in the water, your head out of sea!”
The fish soon made its appearance.
“Well, old man,” it said, “what do you want?”
“My wife,” said the man, “has had a misfortune, and has broken our
bucket. So I have come to ask for a new one.”
“Very well,” said the fish, “you shall find one at home.”
