Based on a Russian story by Alexander Pushkin, this is the tale of an old fisherman who catches a glistening, talking goldfish. The beautiful fish promises the old man anything he desires, if he will just release the fish back into the sea. The old fisherman is struck by wonder, and kindly releases the fish without making any wish or demand. But when he returns home to tell his wife of this wondrous thing, she scolds him and sends him back time after time to the fish, with wishes for more and bigger things each time. See what happens as the wife's greed gets the better of her!
