The old man really didn’t think this was a good idea, and he tried and tried to convince his wife, but she was determined to live in such a castle, so finally, with a heavy heart, he went back down to the Sea and called to the flounder.

“What is it now?” the fish asked.

“Well, I did catch you, and my wife is just really not happy with the castle 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, I really want my wife to be satisfied…Could you give her a castle fit for a king?”

“Well,” the fish said. “Since you ask for your wife to be satisfied, it shall NOT be just as you wish. Go and see what I have provided for you and your dear wife. It is the least I can do for you, since you spared my life.”
