The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish (version 21)

… So the old man went to the blue sea; he began to call the golden fish. The fish swam up to him and asked: “What do you need, old man?” The old man answers her with a bow: “Have mercy, sovereign fish, my old woman scolded me, she gives the old man no peace: she needs a new trough; ours has completely split.” The golden fish answers: “Don’t worry, go with God. You will have happiness…”

The old man returned to his hut; look: on the threshold stands a new trough,

And the old woman has vanished without a trace.

The fish was far-sighted.
