Answer 2:
There was once upon a time a fisherman lived
with his wife in a pigstye close by the sea. And every day he
went out fishing and he fished and he fished. And once he was
sitting with his rod looking at the clear water and he sat and
he sat then his line suddenly went down far down below and
when he drew it up again he brought out a large flounder.
Then the flounder said to him 'Hark you
fisherman! I pray you let me live. I am no flounder
really, but an enchanted prince! What good will it do you to
kill me - I should not be good to eat. Put me in the water
again and let me go."
"Come" said the fisherman "There is no need
for so many words about it - a fish that can
talk I should certainly let go anyhow" and with that he
put him back again into the clear water. And the flounder went
to the bottom leaving a long streak of blood behind him. Then
the fisherman got up and went home to his wife in the
pigstye. |
