Once upon a time, there was a fisherman and his wife.
Det var en gang en fisker og hans kone.
They lived in a small hut near the sea.
De bodde i en liten hytte nær sjøen.
The fisherman went to the sea every day to fish.
Fiskeren dro til sjøen hver dag for å fiske.
One day, he caught a magic fish.
En dag fanget han en magisk fisk.
The fish could talk and asked to be set free.
Fisken kunne snakke og ba om å bli satt fri.
The fisherman put the fish back in the water.
Fiskeren satte fisken tilbake i vannet.
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 sa til ham at han skulle be om et finere hus.
The fisherman went back to the sea and called the fish.
Fiskeren dro tilbake til sjøen og ropte på fisken.
The fish granted the wish.
Fisken oppfylte ønsket.
Now they lived in a nice house.
Nå bodde de i et fint hus.
But soon the wife wanted a palace.
Men snart ønsket kona et palass.
She asked the fisherman to talk to the fish again.
Hun ba fiskeren snakke med fisken igjen.
The fish gave them a big, beautiful palace.
Fisken ga dem et stort, vakkert palass.
They had servants and fancy clothes.
De hadde tjenere og fine klær.
But the wife still was not happy.
Men kona var fortsatt ikke lykkelig.
She wanted to be empress.
Hun ønsket å bli keiserinne.
The fisherman went to the sea with fear.
Fiskeren dro til sjøen med frykt.
The sea was grey and very rough.
Sjøen var grå og veldig urolig.
The fish granted the wish and she became empress.
Fisken oppfylte ønsket, og hun ble keiserinne.
Now she had all the power.
Nå hadde hun all makt.
But she wanted more. She wanted to be like God.
Men hun ønsket mer. Hun ønsket å være som Gud.
The fisherman didn’t want to ask for that, but he did.
Fiskeren ville ikke be om det, men han gjorde det.
The sea was black and the wind was strong.
Sjøen var svart og vinden var sterk.
The fish didn’t answer anything.
Fisken svarte ikke noe.
When the fisherman returned, the palace was gone.
Da fiskeren kom tilbake, var palasset borte.
The wife was back in the old hut.
Kona var tilbake i den gamle hytta.
And so they lived like at the beginning.
Og slik levde de som i begynnelsen.
They had lost everything for wanting too much.
De hadde mistet alt for å ønske for mye.
