"The Golden Fish" tells the story of an impoverished fisherman who, after catching a magical golden fish, is granted wishes in exchange for its release. His wife, however, becomes increasingly greedy, urging him to ask for more extravagant desires. As he obliges, they rise to great wealth and power, but their insatiable greed leads to dire consequences. In the end, they lose everything, returning to their humble beginnings. The tale serves as a cautionary fable about the dangers of greed and the importance of contentment, illustrating how unchecked desires can lead to one's downfall.
