“What is it now?” the fish asked.

“Well, I did catch you, and my wife is just really not happy with the big fine house you gave us, and it would only be fair for you to give me another wish, since I let you go,” explained the old man humbly.

“Very well,” said the fish, “What would you wish?”

“Well…if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, could I just have a castle?”

“Of course,” the fish said immediately. “It shall be just as you wish. Go and see the castle that I have provided for you and your dear wife. It is the least I can do for you, since you spared my life.”

The old man goes back to talk to the flounder again.
