The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish (Russian: Сказка о рыбаке и рыбке, Skazka o rybake i rybke) is a fairy tale in verse by Alexander Pushkin. Pushkin wrote the tale in autumn 1833 and it was first published in literary magazine Biblioteka dlya chteniya in May 1835. The tale is about a fisherman who managed to catch a "Golden Fish" which promised to fulfill any wish of his in exchange for letting it go. The storyline is similar to the Russian fairy tale Greedy Old Wife (according to Vladimir Propp) and was probably borrowed from Brothers Grimm's tale The Fisherman and His Wife.

[edit] Plot summary

The Fisherman (from 1950 animated film)

In Pushkin's poem, an old man and woman have been living poorly for many years. They have a small hut, and every day the man goes out to fish. One day, he throws in his net and pulls out seaweed two times in succession, but on the third time he pulls out a golden fish. The fish pleads for its life, promising any wish in return. However, the old man does not want anything, and lets the fish go. When he returns and tells his wife about the golden fish, she gets angry and tells her husband to go ask the fish for a new washboard (their washboard is broken), and the fish happily grants this small request. The next day, the wife asks for a new house, and the fish grants this also. Then, in succession, the wife asks for a palace, to become the ruler of her province, to become the tsarina, and finally to become the Ruler of Sea, to subjugate the golden fish completely to her boundless will. As the man goes to ask for each item, the sea becomes more and more stormy, until the last request, where the man can hardly hear himself think. When he asks that his wife be made the Ruler of the Sea, the fish cures her greed by putting her back in the old cottage and giving back the broken washboard. The moral of the story is: do not get too greedy, or you will end up with nothing.

"I matter, I belong, I am worthy, I am safe, I can express myself, I am loved."

I don't believe any of the above.
Isn't that sad?

Life has taught me that these things are only for the beautiful, the rich, the powerful, the well placed, the healthy.

The rest of us have to figure out how to do without them.

Finely drawn shadows surround your eyes,
Night scrapes our window.
Behind dark, a penciled star.
Everything is cold now.

How did I get so old and beat up?

Why do my adult once children live so far away?

I remember the day each was born and now they have lives that seem as distant from mine as the evening stars.
