Let’s take a motorcycle ride with the police to storyland. A fisherman has a wife who complains of their poverty, and the time wasted in fishing all day and not catching any fish., Finally the man catches a magical talking flounder. The fish promises he can give the fisherman anything he wants.
Later upon hearing the news the wife sends the man back to ask the fish for a better house. She gets it, but Not satisfied, she asks for more and more until her greed gets her into trouble and… Well just listen in for the fun dramatization of this classic fairy tale.
The moral of the story is to learn the benefits of ambition, and the dangers in crossing the fine line into greed?
PS: One of my favorite children’s stories, and I love the way the actor does the character of the fisherman. A well done production.
