The Fisherman
and the Little Gold Fish
The Fisherman Catches a Little Gold Fish
An Old Man 1 and an Old Woman 2 live in a
little old hut near the sea. The Old Man is a fisher¬
man. He has a boat and goes to the sea every
day.
One day he is on the sea in his boat.
It is a beautiful day.3 The sea is still and blue.
Soon the Fisherman catches a Little Gold Fish.

3 It is a beautiful ['bju:tiful] day — Прекрасный день

“Please let me go,” 1 says the Little Gold Fish.
'1 can give you anything you like.” 2
“Very well. Swim away. Swim away,” says
the Fisherman. “I don’t want a fish that can
talk.” 3
He puts the Little Gold Fish into the water.4
and it swims away.
"I Want!to Have
a Pretty Liitle Cottage”
The Old Man comes home to the Old Woman
in the little hut. He tells her about the Little Gold
Fish that can talk.
“We must ask this Little Gold Fish for some¬
thing,” 6 says the Old Woman. “We live in a little
old hut. I want to have a pretty little cottage. Go
back and ask the Little Gold Fish to give us a
pretty little cottage.”
The Old Man does not like to go, but still he
goes back to the sea. W’hen he comes to the sea,
the water is all yellow and green. He looks down
and says,

“Oh Fish of the Sea,
Come listen to me! 1
My wife wants to ask
A favour of thee.” 2
The Little Gold Fish swims up to him, and asks,
“What does she want?”
“A cottage,” says the Old Man. “She says she
does not like to live in a little old hut.”
“You can go home,” says the Little Gold Fish.
“She is in the cottage already.”
“I Want to Have a Castle”
So the Old Man goes home, and there is his
wife at the door of a pretty little cottage.
“Come in! Come in!” she says. “Isn’t this a
beautiful cottage?” 3
There is a pretty sitting-room and a bedroom,
and a kitchen in the cottage, and there is a little
garden behind the cottage.
“Now you are happy,” says the Old Man.
The Old Woman is happy for some time,4 and
then she says,
“I don’t like this cottage. I want to have a castle.
Ask the Little Gold Fish to give us a castle.”

62

“I don’t like to ask the Little Gold Fish,” says
the Old Man. “The Little Gold Fish may be very
angry.1 I don’t think it can do that.”
“Oh, yes!” says the Old Woman. “The Little
Gold Fish can do it.”
So the Old Man goes to the sea once more. 2
This time 3 the water is dark blue. 4 The Old Man
looks down and says,
“Oh Fish of the Sea,
Come listen to me!
My wife wants to ask
A favour of thee.”
“What does she want now?” asks the Little
Gold Fish.
“She does not like the cottage,” says the Old
Man. “She wants a beautiful castle.”
“Go home,” says the Little Gold Fish. “She is
at the door of the castle already.”
“I Want to Be Queen of	All the Land” 5
The Old Man goes away,	and there is	the	Old
Woman at the door of a beautiful castle.
“Come in! Come in!” she	says. Isn’t	this	a
beautiful castle?”
They go into the castle, and he sees many rooms
and gold chairs and tables. Behind the castle there
is a garden, and around it there is a beautiful park.

The next morning the Old Woman says, 'Go
to the Little Gold Fish, and tell it to make me
queen of all the land.”
“You can’t be queen,” says the Old Man. “The
Little Gold Fish may be angry. It can’t make you
queen.”
“Yes, the Little Gold Fish can do it,” says the
Old Woman. “Go and ask the Little Gold Fish to
make me queen of all the land.”
So the Old Man goes down to the sea. This
time the water is dark grey. He looks down and
cries,
“Oh Fish of the Sea,
Come listen to me!
My wife wants to ask
A favour of thee.”
“What does she want now?” asks the Little Gold
Fish.
“She does not like the beautiful castle,” says the
Old Man, “she wants to be queen of all the land.”
“Go home,” says the Little Gold Fish “She is
queen already.”
“I Want to Be Queen of the Sea”
So the Old Man goes home. The Old Woman
is sitting in a chair of gold.1
“Are you queen now?” asks the Old Man
“Yes,” says she, “I am queen.”
“What a good thing it is to be 2 queen,” say^
the Old Man. “You are very happy now.”
1 in a chair of gold [gould] - в золотом кресле.
2 What a good thing it is to be ... ^- Как хорошо быть

The next day the Old Woman says to the Old
Man, “Go to the Little Gold Fish and tell the Fish
to make me queen of the sea.”
“The Little Gold Fish can’t make you queen
of the sea,” says the Old Man. “It may be angry.”
“Yes, the Little Gold Fish can do it,” says the
Old Woman.
The Old Woman is very angry,1 and at last the
Old Man goes away.
“I don’t like this,” he says, “the Little Gold Fish
may be angry.”
When he comes to the sea, the water is quite
black, and the Old Man is afraid. 2 But still he
looks down and cries,
“Oh Fish of the Sea,
Come listen to me!
My wife wants to ask
A favour of thee.”
“What does she want now?” asks the Little
Gold Fish.
“She wants to be queen of the sea,” says the
Old Man.
“Go home,” says the Little Gold Fish, “to your
old hut again.”
So the Old Man goes home, and there is the
Old Woman at the door of the little old hut.
at last {at 'lcr.st] — наконец
1 She is very angry ['aepgri] — Она очень сердится.
2 The Old Man is a'fraid — Старик испугался.
