Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) In a village, there lived a fisherman and his wife. They caught fish and sold them in the market. They were poor. They lived in a small hut. They didn't even have lots of pots and dishes. One day, the husband went fishing. Although he was fishing the whole day, he did not get any fish. At dusk, he caught a golden fish. So, he took it home. At home, he prepared to cook it. At that time, the golden fish said, "Don't kill me. I will give you anything you want if you release me." The next morning, the husband released the golden fish in the stream. His wife told him, "Ask the golden fish to help us." Then, he went to the stream and shouted, "Golden fish, golden fish, golden fish!" At that time, it came out of water. It asked, "What happened?" He said, "My wife wants a mansion for us." The fish said, "Go back now, and you will see the mansion." When he got back home, his house was changed from a small hut to a big house. After a few months, his wife told him, "I want to be the richest in this village. Go ask the fish to help us." So, he went to the stream and shouted three times, "Golden fish, golden fish, golden fish!" The golden fish came out and asked, "What do you want this time?" He said, "My wife wants to be the richest in this village." It told the man to go back. When he got home, he saw a lot of gold under his pots and dishes in the kitchen. But the wife couldn't be satisfied. The more she got, the more she wanted. She said she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. So, she told her husband to request the golden fish to fulfil her wish. So, he went to the golden fish again. He called the golden fish three times. Then, it came out of the water and asked him, "What should I help you?" He said, "My wife wants to be the most beautiful girl in the world." The golden fish told him to go back home. When he reached home, his wife became a gorgeous lady. She lived separately from her husband. She was very poor at first, but suddenly she became a rich and gorgeous lady. Her poor habits still remained. She could not use forks and spoons well. She didn't get used to wearing beautiful dresses too. She could not sleep like the beautiful girls. She was very disappointed in herself. A few days later, the wife told the fisherman that she just wanted to stay in the small house again. He said to the golden fish, "My wife didn't want any of these you did for us. She just wants to have her normal life back." She could satisfy herself. From that day, they lived happily in their small house. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi shawng e da kahtawng langai mi kaw she da nga hkwi sha ai yen la nga ai da.
