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.
