*The Three Wishes -
Folktale
Once upon a time,
there was a man and
his wife. Both of them
were young, they
loved each other, but
because of poverty,
they often argued.
*But one day, luck was on the
poor man’s side…
*As he was coming out of
the forest, he saw a
carriage drawn by 4
black dogs. In it was a
beautiful lady. He
thought she must be a
fairy. As the fairy’s
carriage was stuck in the
mud, she asked for the
poor man’s help.
* The poor man gladly helped her. The
fairy rewarded him for his good deed
with THREE WISHES.
* The poor man hurried home to tell his wife what happened to
him.
His wife didn’t believe him at first. Then she wished for a pan
full of big sausages. And there it was….
Their first wish has gone…
*The poor man wanted to light
his cigarette, but as he was
doing that, the sausages fell in
the ash of the stove.
*His wife got really mad and in
her anger wished that the
sausage would grow on the
man’s nose. As she finished
saying that the sausage was on
the man’s nose.
*They tried and tried to get
down the sausage from the
man’s nose…but they couldn’t.
It didn’t move.
*This was their second wish…
*After trying so
many times, they
did not have
anything else to
do…
They had to use their last
wish.  The woman
wished that the sausage
fall down from her
husband’s nose, back into
the pan.
* They had a very good dinner from that sausage.
During their meal they reconciled. They worked a lot,
they promised not to argue again because of poverty.
*They lived happily
ever after.
The end.
Due to their hard work and because they didn’t argue any
more, soon they had everything they wanted: animal farm
and a beautiful, nice house.
