00:00Once upon a time, on the shore of the deep blue sea,

00:05a fisherman and his wife were living in a tiny cottage.

00:09The fisherman used to go to the seaside every day and fish with his fishing rod.

00:16He was quite content to live like this,

00:20but his wife was not as happy as he was.

00:25Ugh! Look at that disgusting cottage!

00:28Moldy and damp everywhere!

00:31I am tired of cleaning every day!

00:35The fisherman was very much in love with his wife,

00:38but no matter what he did, he could not make her happy.

00:43If he brings her fish, she wants crab.

00:46If he picks apples, she craves pears.

00:49One day, the fisherman went fishing as usual.

00:52He swung his fishing rod into the water and started to wait.

00:58After a few hours, the tip of his fishing rod finally trembled.

01:03Oh! A fish hit the hook!

01:05But, ouch!

01:07This must be a stubborn big fish!

01:12The fisherman pulled, pulled, pulled,

01:16The fisherman pulled, pulled, pulled,

01:19and was surprised to finally see the flounder on the tip of his fishing rod.

01:24Because this fish was golden and shining brightly!

01:29You finally managed to catch me, didn't you, fisherman?

01:33Huh? Did you just talk to me, or am I going crazy?

01:38You heard right, fisherman.

01:39But listen, I'm not like the other fishes.

01:42I'm actually a prince under a spell.

01:46I can't believe this!

01:49Free me, fisherman. Please don't kill me.

01:52Even, make a wish, and I'll make it come true because you saved me.

01:57No, no, no need.

01:59I've never seen a talking fish before.

02:02Of course I will free you.

02:04Come on, go back to the seas.

02:06The fisherman returned home with great excitement.

02:10Why did you come back early?

02:12Didn't you catch fish?

02:14Couldn't you at least bring some fruit?

02:18No, darling.

02:19I caught a fish today, but…

02:22But?

02:24But that fish was talking!

02:26He told me he was actually a prince!

02:29What? And what happened then?

02:32Well, then he asked me to make a wish.

02:35But that moment I was shocked and I immediately let him back into the water.

02:40So you found a magic fish and left it back in the water without asking for anything?

02:46Ha! I cannot believe you!

02:48You saved his life.

02:50You could make a wish in return, like a house.

02:54Go catch that fish again and ask for a new home to make me happy.

02:58The fisherman could not refuse his wife's request and went back to the seaside.

03:05Flounder, flounder, fish prince, I just wanna make a wish.

03:10Come on, make true this wish.

03:12Tick, tock, tick, tock.

03:15The fish just came out of the water.

03:19What do you want, fisherman? Tell me.

03:22My wife is not happy at all.

03:24Tired of living in a cottage.

03:26She wants a nice house.

03:29So go home, fisherman.

03:31She has a new home now.

03:34The fisherman ran home and saw his wife standing in front of a perfect house.

03:40The inside of the house was full of brand new furniture and everywhere was immaculate.

03:47Oh, husband, we will no longer live in a cottage but in a one-bedroom house.

03:52We will no longer live in a cottage but in a wonderful house and everything is new and clean.

03:59Yes, my wife. Now we can live happily ever after in this house, right?

04:06We can never know that, my darling.

04:11That night, the fisherman's wife could not sleep.

04:16As soon as the morning came,

04:19she made another request from her husband at the breakfast table.

04:24Husband, this house seems too small for us.

04:28I want a bigger house, even a palace.

04:33What?

04:34I want to be a queen, don't you understand?

04:38Go and tell that to the fish prince.

04:42The fisherman went to the seaside with thoughts in his head.

04:47Flounder, flounder, fish prince.

04:49I just want to make a wish.

04:52Come on, make true this wish.

04:54Tick-tock, tick-tock.

04:58My wife is not happy at all.

05:01Why, fisherman?

05:03She wants to have a palace.

05:05So go home, fisherman. Your wife now lives in a palace.

05:10When the fisherman returned,

05:12he saw that there was now a huge palace where his house was,

05:17and his wife was sitting on a huge throne in the palace hall.

05:22My darling, you really have become a queen.

05:27Yes.

05:29So, are you happy now?

05:32No, I actually want to be the empress, not the queen.

05:38What?

05:39A fish can't make you an empress. Do you understand?

05:43Let the fish prince decide that.

05:45Come on, move.

05:47Go ask the fish to make me the empress.

05:51The poor fisherman went to the seaside sadly to make his wife happy.

05:58Flounder, flounder, fish prince.

06:00I just want to make a wish.

06:02Come on, make true this wish.

06:04Come on, make true this wish.

06:06Tick, tock, tick, tock.

06:09My wife is still not happy.

06:12Well, is that so?

06:14So what does she want this time?

06:16She…

06:18She wants to be an empress.

06:21So go home, fisherman. Your wife is now an empress.

06:27When the fisherman came running back,

06:29he could not believe his eyes.

06:31The palace was now much larger than before.

06:34Moreover, there were guards at the door.

06:38His wife, on the other hand,

06:40was now sitting on a more glorious throne as an empress.

06:46Oh, my darling, you really have become an empress.

06:51Yes.

06:55So, are you happy now?

06:57Hmm, I don't know. We'll talk about it later.

07:02I'm so tired today. We better sleep now.

07:06The fisherman and his wife lay on the bed to sleep.

07:10The fisherman fell asleep,

07:12praying that his wife would not want anything more from him.

07:17However, his wife did not sleep again.

07:22She had been thinking all night

07:24about what more she could want from that magic fish.

07:29A week has passed.

07:31The woman called her husband before her and made a request.

07:36Husband, time keeps running out.

07:39I want to control time.

07:43I want to live above the clouds and rule the sun and the moon.

07:49What are you saying, wife?

07:51Why do you want such a thing?

07:53Why is this abundance, wealth and power not enough?

07:57If you want me to be happy,

07:59go to that fish prince now and tell him my wish.

08:04I can't do this, my darling. Please stop now.

08:08But, don't you want me to be happy?

08:12The fisherman risked everything to make his wife happy

08:17and went to the seaside again.

08:20Flounder, flounder, fish prince.

08:23I just want to make a wish.

08:25Come on, make true this wish.

08:27Tick tock, tick tock.

08:32My wife is still not happy.

08:35I'm sorry about that, fisherman.

08:37What does she want this time?

08:39My wife wants to control time.

08:42She wants to rule the sun and the moon in a palace above the clouds.

08:47Alright, fisherman. Go home.

08:49Your wife now has what she wants.

08:54When the fisherman came running back,

08:57neither his wife nor the palace were there.

09:01When he looked up, he saw that the clouds were far away from him.

09:07Oh, my wife! Where are you?

09:10You are far from me now.

09:13The fisherman hurried back to the seashore and called the fish prince.

09:19Flounder, flounder, fish prince.

09:20I just want to make a wish.

09:22Come on, make true this wish.

09:23Tick tock, tick tock.

09:27What happened to my wife?

09:29I just fulfilled her wish.

09:31She gave up everything to rule time above the clouds.

09:34So neither you can see her, nor can she see you.

09:39Oh, fish prince. I saved your life.

09:43But I never asked you for a wish myself.

09:46I always wanted something from my wife.

09:49Please help me. Give me back my wife.

09:53Hmm, you're right, fisherman.

09:55Tell me, what is your wish?

09:58May my wife always be with me and very happy.

10:02This is my wish.

10:04Well, fisherman, go home.

10:06Your wife has everything to be happy.

10:11The fisherman ran home with great excitement.

10:15He was very surprised to see this new situation.

10:18His wife was waiting for him in front of the cottage,

10:21just like in the old days.

10:25Oh, my husband.

10:27I couldn't realize the worth of what I had.

10:31I was actually very happy with you in this small and cute cottage.

10:37Oh, my wife. I love you so much.

10:43From that day on,

10:44From that day on,

10:45the fisherman's wife understood that even the smallest things can bring happiness.

10:53Thus, they lived happily ever after in a clean house with delicious food every day.
