1) I would like to say a few words about a Russian fairy Tale about a fisherman and a fish.

2) The main characters in the tale are an old fisherman, his old wife, and a fish.

3) The plot of the story: Once upon a time there lived an old man and an old woman on the seaside. Every morning the old man went fishing. One day he caught a golden fish. The golden fish asked the old man to let her in the sea and said that she would fulfil any of his wishes. The old man was surprised at her words and he let the golden fish go back into the sea. When he came home and told his wife about the golden fish the old woman sent him back to the sea to ask for a new washtub. When the old woman got it from the golden fish, she sent her husband to ask for a new house, then a palace instead of the house. Then she wanted to become a queen. The golden fish made her a queen, but when the old woman demanded the golden fish become her servant, the golden fish said nothing and swam away. What happened later? The old man returned home from the sea and saw no palace, no queen but his small old house and his wife near her old washtub.

4 What moral values does the text suggest?

Sometimes the more people get the more they want.

One shouldn't be so greedy and ungrateful.
