The Gold-Children

Overview

A fisherman caught a golden fish. And you know what follows. The golden fish gave one wish to the fisherman in return for him letting her go. And so he did. He wished for a castle and he got it. The only thing he could not do was to say where he got his fortune from. But he did not keep his promise and the castle disappeared. He caught the fish again. He got a new wish and he broke the promise one more time. He caught the fish a third time. And he was not granted a wish. Instead the fish asked him to take her home and cut her into six pieces.

About the Author

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, aka the Brothers Grimm, set out to collect stories in the early 1800s, their goal was not to entertain children but to preserve Germanic folklore. Once the brothers saw how the stories entranced young readers, however, they began softening some of the harsher aspects to make them more suitable for children. A cornerstone of Western culture since the early 1800s, Grimm’s Fairy Tales is now one of the world’s most beloved books.
