Ted: If wishes were fishes...

The sun was setting as Samuel looked at his days catch. One mullet. He and Wife would eat tonight, just not very well. "Wife is not going to be pleased. I can hear her carping already."

"What carp?"

Samuel looked around.

"In the bucket."

Samuel knew the stories. He knew that wishing fish could be tricksters if you got greedy.

"Are you a wishing fish?"

"Of course."

"How many wishes?"

"One."

Samuel was a simple man, no thought of crowns or glory. His wish was simple. "Feed my family."

By morning, the fish was swimming again in it's glass bowl.
