1. A poor fisherman catches a magic fish that can grant wishes. The fish gives the fisherman and his wife a little cottage at the wife's request. 2. The wife then asks for a bigger house, then a castle. Each time the magic fish grants her wish. 3. The wife's desires continue to grow larger, eventually wanting to rule the world. But the magic fish refuses this last wish and returns the fisherman and his wife to their original small hut.
