[Audio] The fisherman was exhausted. He slept soundly that night, but his wife couldn't rest. She yearned for something. She knew exactly what she desired. She wanted the entire world! In the morning, she woke her husband with a loud call. "Rise and shine, my dear!" she exclaimed. "I've figured out what I desire. I want the world! And I want to be the Emperor of everything.".

[Audio] The poor fisherman lives in a small hut with his wife. He catches fish every day by going to the sea. On one occasion, while he was fishing, he spotted a very unusual and beautiful fish..

[Audio] The fisherman caught a fish that was not like any other fish. Inside, he found a magic prince. The fish, who was actually a magic prince, begged the fisherman to return him to the sea, explaining that he was not a fish, but a magic prince. The fisherman agreed, knowing they could not eat a magic prince. He then returned the fish to the sea and went home..

[Audio] His wife was surprised when her husband came home with no fish. She asked if there were any fish in the sea, and the fisherman replied that there was a magic fish. However, they couldn't eat it because it was magical, so they put it back in the sea. His wife then wanted something else, specifically a nice little cottage. She asked her husband to go and ask the fish for this..

[Audio] The fisherman went back to the sea, where the water was now green. He shouted for the magic fish to come up and speak with him. The fish asked what the fisherman wanted, and he replied that his wife wanted something. She wanted a small cottage. The fish then told him to go home, because his wife already had one..

[Audio] The fisherman comes home from his day at sea. His wife greets him with excitement, showing him their new cottage. "This is nice!" she exclaims. The fisherman agrees, saying "It's very nice. We can be happy now." His wife starts thinking about something else, perhaps something more..

Upon arriving, he found his wife delighted with their new large residence..

[Audio] The fisherman returns home from his day at sea, exhausted. His wife shows him their new home, pointing out its beauty, saying it's very nice. He agrees, feeling relieved that they can finally be happy together. However, his wife appears distracted, lost in thought. Perhaps she's thinking about something beyond happiness. We will have to wait and see..

[Audio] The fisherman's wife wants something more than their current home. She wants a big castle. The fisherman doesn't agree with her desire, but she insists on having one. She even asks him to go and ask the fish if they can have it..

[Audio] The fisherman went back to the sea, asking the magic fish to grant his wife's wish. She had requested a castle, and the fisherman hoped the fish would comply. When the fish emerged, the fisherman inquired about its desires, and the fish responded that his wife already possessed her wish. The fisherman was taken aback and disheartened, but he returned home with the information..

[Audio] The fisherman returns to the sea, hoping to find answers to his wife's desires. He calls out to the magic fish, asking it to appear once more. The fish asks the fisherman what he wants, and he explains that his wife wants a palace and to be queen. The fish tells him to go home, assuring him that his wife already has a palace and is indeed queen..

[Audio] The fisherman returns home from his journey and finds his wife excitedly showing him a palace. She declares herself the queen and the fisherman agrees that it looks very nice. He asks if they can be happy now, and his wife responds that perhaps they can. However, she pauses to consider their new circumstances, leaving the outcome uncertain..

[Audio] She couldn't sleep because she wanted something. And then she knew exactly what she wanted. She wanted the whole world. She even wanted to be the ruler of it all. She woke her husband up, telling him about her big desire..

[Audio] The fisherman's wife was not content with her life as queen. She craved more, demanding everything, including being the emperor of the world. Her husband tried to reason with her, pointing out that no one could possess the entire world, but she refused to listen. Instead, she insisted that her husband ask the magic fish if it could grant her wish. The fisherman hesitated, knowing the fish would probably deny their request. However, the fisherman's wife remained resolute in her pursuit of getting what she wanted..

[Audio] The fisherman went back to the sea, hoping to find some answers. He called out to the magic fish, asking it to come up and talk to him. His wife had been wanting something big, something extraordinary. She wanted to be the Emperor of the whole world.

[Audio] Magic in the air comes up and to nothing. What nonsense is this? says the old woman. Let this be now, she says. This cottage is very small. We need something, a nice big house. No, please, says the old woman. We don't want a big one. Yes, we do, says her husband..

[Audio] The fisherman's wife wanted something more than their little hut. She yearned to live in a palace and become the queen. However, her husband was not interested in this idea. He believed they were content with their simple life. Despite this, the fisherman's wife continued to ask for more and more until she finally got her wish. Now, she was the queen of the palace, but was she truly happy?.

[Audio] She wakes him up because she wants something. She knows what she wants. She wants the whole world. She thinks about being the Emperor of the world..
