The Fisherman and his Wife (10) [Fisherman and his Wife]

The Fisherman and his Wife (10)

  "Alas ! " said the Fisherman, " she wants to be king. "

  " Go home ; she is that already, " said the Flounder.

  The Fisherman went home, and when he came near the palace he saw that it had become much larger.

  And when he went into the palace he found everything was of pure marble and gold, and curtains were made of damask with tassels of gold.

  Then the door of the Hall flew open, and there stood the whole Court round his wife, who was sitting on a high throne of gold and diamonds.

  So he said: " Let that be enough, Wife, now that you are King ! Now we have nothing more to wish for. "

  " Nay, Husband," said his wife restlessly, " my wishing powers are boundless. Go down to the Flounder ; King I am, now I must be emperors "

   " Ah,Wife, " he said, " he cannot make you emperor ; I don't like to ask him that. There is only one emperor in the kingdom. "

  " If he can make king, " said his wife, " he can make emperors and emperor I must and will be. Go ! "
