No Fishing

At the river there is a poor guy fishing. He has bare feet, very poor clothes and a wicker basket for fish. Suddenly his bobfloat starts to vibrate and the man pulls up a golden fish. Just after the man unhooks the fish, it starts to speak. Goldfish says proudly that he is not a common fish, but a goldfish. He makes an offer – if the man saves his life, the fish will fulfill any wish the man has. The man is very surprised but instead of saying yes, he replies “No”.
