The Fisherman and His Wife in Spanish

A0–B1 graded story, English translation and illustrations · Grimm Brothers

The Fisherman and His Wife is a Brothers Grimm tale about ambition, gratitude, and never being satisfied. A poor fisherman catches an enchanted flounder that claims to be a prince. He releases the fish without asking for anything, but his wife insists that he return and request a better home. The fish grants her wish, yet she quickly decides that a cottage is not enough. Her demands become greater, while the once-calm sea grows darker and more violent each time the fisherman returns. How much will the magical fish give them, and what will happen when the fisherman’s wife finally asks for too much?
