One day he caught a flounder who begged the fisherman to let him go because he was an enchanted prince. The fisherman agreed at once, but when he got home his wife scolded him for having asked nothing in return and sent him back to the sea. The flounder granted the fisherman's wish, but the greedy wife kept sending her husband back to ask for more.
