Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I'm going to tell now is about a greedy woman. Once upon a time, there was a poor old couple. The old man was a fisherman. He went fishing for a living. One night, he went fishing. However, he couldn't catch any fish. In the end, he could catch only one fish. Surprisingly, the fish could speak. It said, "Grandpa, don't kill me. Please, don't eat me. I will give you everything you want and need. Please, let me go." The grandpa agreed with the fish and let it go. He just took his fishing rod and went back home. When he was at home, his wife asked him, "My husband, did you get any fish?" He replied, "I couldn't catch any fish today. However, I found a fish that could speak! I was so surprised that it could speak. So I let it go." He continued, "The fish told me not to eat it, and it would give us everything we wanted. The fish promised me that it would give me everything." His wife scolded him, "You idiot! We don't have anything to eat now! Why didn't you take that fish home? We can pound the fish and make it paste. Anyway, let it be. It seems like the fish is really powerful. Go and ask it to give us anything." Then, the old grandpa went there again. He called the fish, "The little fish! The little fish!" The fish appeared and asked him, "Grandpa, why are you calling me? What's the matter?" He said, "We don't have a nice, big house. We live in a small, shanty house. Therefore, give us a big, beautiful house." The fish said, "Okay, grandpa. Go back home. You will see a big house when you arrive home." Then, he went back home. He saw a shiny, beautiful house there. His wife was really happy and said, "My husband, why did you only ask for a house? We use old plates and pots. Go and ask for new plates and pots too." The old grandpa went to the fish again, although he didn't want to. He called the fish again. The fish appeared and asked him, "What's the matter, grandpa?" He told it, "My wife told me to ask you for new plates and pots. We are using only old plates and pots, so give us something new." It said, "Okay, go back home." When the grandpa arrived home, he saw new plates and pots. His wife was really happy and said, "My husband, we have the new house and new plates and pots. Now, we need some cash. So, go ask for some money." Then, he had to go to the fish again, even though he didn't want to. He thought, "We have already got the beautiful new house, but my wife is really greedy." When he arrived at the stream, he called the fish again. It asked him, "What's the matter? What do you need?" He said, "We have a beautiful house. And we have new plates and pots too. However, we still need some cash to spend. My wife told me to ask for money." It said, "Okay. Grandpa, you can go back home." When he arrived home, he saw that the boxes were full of gold and money. But his wife never knew to be content. She was a greedy woman. She had wrinkles and loose skin. She knew that they got everything they wanted when they asked the fish. Therefore, she told him, "Now, we have the big house, new pots and plates, and money. However, I want to be a young lady now. Go to the fish and ask it to fulfill our wish." The grandpa said, "Oh, my wife." She said, "Just go! Just go and ask." He really didn't want to go there, but he had to. He called, "The little fish! The little fish!" The fish appeared and asked him, "What's the matter, grandpa?" He said, "My wife is as old as me. She has wrinkles and loose skin. Now, she wants to be as beautiful as a young lady." The fish said, "Okay, you can go back home." When he arrived home, he saw that his wife had become young and beautiful. She had become a young lady exactly the same way when he got married to her. The wife became arrogant because she had the house, money, and beauty. She was overwhelmed with happiness because she had become a young lady. She told her husband, "My husband, I have become a beautiful young lady now. However, I want to be the richest person in the world. Go tell the fish!" He asked her, "You have everything now. Why are you so greedy?" She told him, "Just go and ask it to fulfill our wish. It will fulfill our wish." The grandpa went there, although he didn't want to, and called, "The little fish! The little fish!" The fish appeared and asked him, "What do you need now, grandpa?" He told it, "My wife is still asking for many things, although she has a lot now. She said she wanted to be the richest person in the world." The fish thought, "I gave them a lot, but they still wish to have many things. They are so greedy." It didn't reply to the grandpa. It pretended it didn't hear anything and swam away. The grandpa said quietly, "The fish doesn't reply to me this time. Did I make any mistakes?" Then he went back home. When he arrived home, he saw only a shanty house. Their plates and pots turned into old ones, and the wife became an old lady again. She had wrinkles and loose skin again. The grandpa said, "It's good now! You are very greedy, although you already have a lot. You deserve it." Therefore, we shouldn't be greedy.
