Teller. Once upon a time there lived an old man with his wife. They were common people and lived as other people did. One day the old man said to his wife:

Grandfather. Granny, oh Granny, what shall we have for dinner?

Grandmother. Go to the shop and buy a tin of sprats in oil.

Teller. So the old man went to the shop and bought a tin of sprats in oil.

Grandfather. Have you prepared mashed potatoes?

Grandmother. Of course, I have. Open the tin and let's have a dinner.

Grandfather. Oh, what is it? There is a golden fish in the tin.

Golden Fish. Don't eat me, old man. I shall fulfill your three wishes.

Grandfather. All right. I shall have a talk with my Granny.

Grandfather. Oh, Granny. There is the Golden Fish in the tin. She speaks like people. She promises to fulfill our three wishes.

Grandmother. You are a silly man. Go back to the Golden Fish and ask her for a thousand dollars. Be quick.

Teller. The man went back to the Golden Fish and asked her for a thousand dollars.

Golden Fish. Go to your wife and you will have a thousand of dollars.

Grandmother. How happy I am. I shall buy many things. I shall buy a very big house.

Grandfather. We are rich now.

Grandmother. Go back to the Golden Fish and ask her for Oriflamme cosmetics. Be quick.

Grandfather. Oh, dear Fish. My wife wants Oriflamme cosmetics.

Golden Fish. Go home, old man. Your wife will have it.

Grandmother. Go back to the Golden Fish and say that I want to be as young and beautiful as Madonna.

Grandfather. Oh, dear Fish. The more we have the more we want. My wife wants to be as young and beautiful as Madonna.

Golden Fish. Well old man. You are a poor man. Go home. You will not recognize your wife.

Grandmother. Oh, my magic glass, tell me, please: who is the best in the world?

Magic Glass. You are, you are…

Grandfather. Oh, Granny! You are so beautiful!!!

Grandmother. I am not your wife. You are old and I am young. Go away! My security! Take him away!
