Once upon a time, there was a fisherman and his wife.
Der var engang en fisker og hans kone.
They lived in a small hut near the sea.
De boede i en lille hytte nær havet.
The fisherman went to the sea every day to fish.
Fiskeren gik til havet hver dag for at fiske.
One day, he caught a magic fish.
En dag fangede han en magisk fisk.
The fish could talk and asked to be set free.
Fisken kunne tale og bad om at blive sat fri.
The fisherman put the fish back in the water.
Fiskeren satte fisken tilbage i vandet.
When he returned home, he told his wife.
Da han kom hjem, fortalte han det til sin kone.
She told him to ask for a nicer house.
Hun sagde til ham, at han skulle bede om et bedre hus.
The fisherman went back to the sea and called the fish.
Fiskeren gik tilbage til havet og kaldte på fisken.
The fish granted the wish.
Fisken opfyldte ønsket.
Now they lived in a nice house.
Nu boede de i et pænt hus.
But soon the wife wanted a palace.
Men snart ønskede konen et palads.
She asked the fisherman to talk to the fish again.
Hun bad fiskeren om at tale med fisken igen.
The fish gave them a big, beautiful palace.
Fisken gav dem et stort, smukt palads.
They had servants and fancy clothes.
De havde tjenere og fine klæder.
But the wife still was not happy.
Men konen var stadig ikke glad.
She wanted to be empress.
Hun ønskede at blive kejserinde.
The fisherman went to the sea with fear.
Fiskeren gik til havet med frygt.
The sea was grey and very rough.
Havet var gråt og meget oprørt.
The fish granted the wish and she became empress.
Fisken opfyldte ønsket, og hun blev kejserinde.
Now she had all the power.
Nu havde hun al magt.
But she wanted more. She wanted to be like God.
Men hun ønskede mere. Hun ønskede at være som Gud.
The fisherman didn’t want to ask for that, but he did.
Fiskeren ønskede ikke at bede om det, men han gjorde det.
The sea was black and the wind was strong.
Havet var sort, og vinden var stærk.
The fish didn’t answer anything.
Fisken svarede ikke noget.
When the fisherman returned, the palace was gone.
Da fiskeren vendte tilbage, var paladset væk.
The wife was back in the old hut.
Konen var tilbage i den gamle hytte.
And so they lived like at the beginning.
Og så levede de som i begyndelsen.
They had lost everything for wanting too much.
De havde mistet alt for at ønske for meget.
