fish. Keloğlan carved its scales, and went to cut its belly and clean it. It’s was then he saw a big
bowl inside the fish. He felt very happy “I shall take both the bowl and the fish to my mother”, he
said. He wanted to wash the fish by the bowl of water and pour the water in the bowl on the fish
but at that time he saw that gold was flowing from the bowl instead of water. He tried a few times
