The Magic Fish (Middle East)

One day, a court maid in a kingdom in the Middle East found a very beautiful small fish bowl. Because the fish was very beautiful, the palace maid did not cook the fish. Especially when the king's consort knew about the fish, the fish was then put into the palace aquarium.

Time after time it turns out that the little fish is very magical. The small fish quickly become large. The empress finally transferred the fish to the palace pool. In the palace pool, the fish always grow to be very large and horribly shaped.

Once upon a time, the empress was sitting by the palace pool. Magic fish appeared and said "Your majesty, thank you for raising and caring for me well. Can I ask for something? " The empress was shocked and finally said "OK, what do you want to ask, O magic fish?".

"Find me a beautiful girl who wants to marry me," answered the fish.

The queen was even more shocked by the words of the magic fish. He was confused, how to meet the demand for the magic fish. However, because of his affection for the magic fish, finally the empress held an announcement. "Whoever wants to be the wife of a magic fish, I will give her a gift of gold which is very much," said the empress.

A stepmother who is very cruel to hear the news. He then gave Karin, her stepdaughter, to be the wife of the magic fish. After he handed over her stepson, she also left happily carrying the golden prize.

Karin was finally left in the palace pool alone. With a feeling of sadness, Karin was pensive by the pool of the palace. Suddenly a frog jumped in front of Karin. The frog spoke "try to take these 3 pebbles, if the magic fish appears, throw these pebbles one at a time into his mouth."

Karin took the pebble the frog gave her. After the frog left, not long after that appeared a magical fish with a terrible form. At first Karin was very scared, but slowly the magic fish opened its mouth wide. Karin finally put 3 pebbles in a row into the fish's mouth.

The miracle occurred after Karin threw the third pebble. The water in the pond suddenly surges, the magic fish disappears, and a very handsome prince appears. The magic fish named prince was cursed by a witch.

"Thank you my wife, you have saved my life, will you take me to my palace?" the prince asked Karin.

Karin stuttered and did not believe what was in front of her. "Alright my husband, I'm coming to your palace," Karin said.

Finally the news of a magical fish turned into a handsome prince reached the stepmother's ear. The stepmother is sorry for not giving her biological child as the wife of a magic fish. Finally the handsome prince and Karin lived happily ever after.
