아주 옛날에 읽었던 이야기, 어부와 그의 아내. 그 때에는 이야기가 이토록 생생하게 들려오지 않았는데, 영어로 읽어보니 어부의 아내의 욕심이 얼마나 엄청난지를 실로 느낄 수 있었다.
I will tell you how mucc fisherman's wife is greedy. First, she wanted a cottage. Than she wanted a big house, than she wanted a castle, than she wanted the palace and she wanted to be a queen! At last, she wanted to have all of the world. But at last the magic fish became angry, so he returned everything.
I think fisherman know the real happy. People don't know what is the happiest thing. Like fisherman's wife. When she returned, she knew that when she was really poor, she was the happiest woman at her daily loutins.
Don't be greedy. Greedy person is the most silly person. Noone like the person. Do you know Screwzi? He was a real notorious miser. People even hate him! If you want to be a happy person, you should be polite, honest and kind.
