There already lived an old man and his good-wife
On the bank of the abysmal dejected ocean;

For thirty-three summers and winters.
The old man acclimated to angle for his living,
And his wife spun yarn on her distaff.
He already casting his net in the ocean,
And pulled it up with mud from the bottom;
He afresh casting his net in the ocean,
And this time bent annihilation but seaweed;
When he casting his net for the third time,
One angle was all that he landed,
No accepted fish, though, but a goldfish.
Now the goldfish began to appeal him,
And it batten like a absolute animal being:
«Put me back, old man, into the ocean —
I will pay you a appropriate aristocratic ransom,
I become accord you whatever you ask me.»
The old man was afraid and abashed —
He'd been fishing for thirty-three summers,
Bat had not heard of any angle talking.
So with affliction he untangled the goldfish
And affectionately said as he did so:
«God absolve you, my baby little goldfish!
Thank you kindly, I don't wish your ransom.
Go aback to your home in the ocean,
And roam area you will after hindrance.»
To his wife the old fisherman hastened
To acquaint her about this abundant marvel.
«I bent abandoned one angle this morning —
A goldfish it was, a lot of uncommon;
It batten like a Christian, and begged me
To put it aback into the ocean,
And promised to pay a affluent ransom,
To accord me whatever I asked for.
But how could I ask for a ransom?
I appear it after any payment.»
His wife started blame her husband:
«Oh you simpleton! Oh yon abundant silly!
Couldn't accomplish a simple angle pay a ransom!
You at atomic ability accept asked for a wash-tub -
For ours is all falling to pieces!»
The old man alternate to the seashore,
Where the dejected after-effects were frolicking lightly.

And the goldfish swam up and demanded:
«What is it, old man, you are wanting?»
With a bow, the old man said in answer:
«Forgive me, Your Majesty Goldfish!
My old woman has scolded me roundly—

For ours is all falling to pieces.»

And this time the dejected sea was troubled.

So be it! You'll accept a new cottage!»
So aback the old man affronted his footsteps;
Not a assurance did he see of his hovel.
In its abode stood a new gabled cottage,
With a chase of brick, anew whitewashed,
A fence with oak gates stood about it;
And there sat his wife at a window;
When she saw him, she scolded him roundly:
«Oh you simpleton! Oh you abundant silly!
To ask for no added than a cottage!
Go and bow to the goldfish, and acquaint it
That I'm annoyed of getting a peasant,
That I wish to be fabricated a accomplished lady.»

She gives me no blow for a second,
Says she's annoyed of getting a peasant,
And wants to be fabricated a accomplished lady.»
The goldfish murmured in answer:
«Do not worry, go home, God be with you.»
To his wife the old fisherman hastened,
And what did he see? — a alpine mansion;
On its white marble stairs — his old woman.
She was cutting a affluent black jacket,
And s head-dress, in gold all embroidered;
Her close was with chaplet abundant laden;
She wore aureate rings on her fingers;
She was shod in the softest red leather;
Zealous agents angled meekly afore her,
As she cuffed them and rated them roundly.
The old man afresh approached his wife, saying.
«Greetings, your ladyship, greetings, accomplished lady!
Now I achievement that your body is contented!»
She angrily bade him be silent
And beatific him to serve in the stables.
First a anniversary boring passed, afresh another,

And I wish to be fabricated a Tsaritsa.»
Her bedmate implored her in terror,
Saying: «Woman—you've absolutely gone crazy!
You can't even allocution like a lady!
You'd be mocked at all over the kingdom!
His old woman grew madder than ever,
Slapped his face and afresh shouted in passion:
«How cartel you, muzhik, angle and argue,
Stand and altercate with me, a accomplished lady?
Go at already — if you don't, afresh I acquaint you,
You'll be abject to the shore, willy-nilly.»

Do not worry, go home, God be with you!
Very well! She shall be a Tsaritsa!»
To his wife the old fisherman hastened,
And what did he see? A admirable palace;
In the alcazar he saw his old woman,
At the table she sat, a Tsaritsa,
Attended by nobles and boyards;
They were cloudburst best wines in her goblet,
She was nibbling candied applique wafers;
Around her, austere guards stood in silence,
With halberds aloft their ample shoulders.
The old man was afraid if he saw this,
He angled to her anxiety and said humbly:
«Greetings, Oh boss Tsaritsa!
Now I achievement that your body is contented!»
But she gave not a glance at her bedmate —
She ordered him advance from her presence.
The boyards and nobles all hastened
And collection him with assault from the chamber;
The guards at the aperture coiled their halberds
And threatened to cut him to pieces.
All the humans derided him, saying.
«Serves you right, now, you awkward old fellow.
You churl—this will advise you a lesson,
To accumulate to your base in future!»
First a anniversary boring passed, afresh another;
The old woman grew prouder than ever.
She beatific for her bedmate one morning,
And her chamberlain haled him afore her.
The old woman batten appropriately to her husband:
«Go, bow to the goldfish, and acquaint it
That I'm annoyed of getting Tsaritsa,
Of the seas I wish to be mistress,
With my home in the dejected ocean waters;
The goldfish I wish for my servant
To do my commands and my errands.»
The old man durst not belie her,
Nor accessible his aperture to accomplish answer.
He acutely set out for the seashore.
A blizzard raged over the ocean,
Its amnion were bloated and angry,
Its billows were baking with fury.
He alleged out aloud for the goldfish.
The goldfish swam up and demanded:
«What is it, old man, you are wanting?»
With a bow, the old man said in answer;
«Forgive me, Your Majesty Goldfish!
What shall I do with my accursed old woman?
She is annoyed of getting Tsaritsa,
Of the seas she now wants to be mistress,
With her home in the dejected ocean waters;
She wants you to be her own servant,
To do her commands and her errands.»
Not a chat batten the goldfish in answer,
It just swished its tail, and in silence
Disappeared in the base of the ocean.
He waited in arrogant for an answer,
And at endure affronted his accomplish to the palace;
And catch — there afresh stood his hovel;
On the doorstep sat his old woman,
With the aforementioned torn wash-tab afore her.
