One day, a fisherman’s five-year-old daughter goes to the water. A goldfish comes in front of the girl. The girl steps in the water to go after her. The fish swims away. The waves take the girl to a large rock in the middle of the river. There she disappears under the water. The fisherman sits on the beach. Down the river comes a boat in which his daughter is sitting. The fisherman goes fishing. The net starts to shake. Then he sees a goldfish. At that very moment, a giant water man swims by, and he says to the fisherman, “Please give me back the goldfish that illuminates my rooms. Then I will return your daughter”. The happy fisherman quickly rows towards the shore to tell his wife what happened. Before sunset, they row towards the rock. His wife takes the paddle and hits it against the rock. The water moves away and swallows the boat, the fisherman, and the woman. They did not follow the water man’s command.
