About the fisherman and his wife

If greed grows with every wish, it won't end well.

A fisherman who lives with his wife in a shabby hut, referred to as "Pissputt," catches a flounder in the sea that pleads for its life as a cursed prince; the fisherman sets it free. When Ilsebill, the fisherman's wife, hears this, she asks him if he didn't wish anything in exchange for the fish's freedom. She urges her husband to call the flounder again to wish for a small hut. The magic fish fulfills this wish. However, Ilsebill soon becomes dissatisfied. Again, she demands her husband to call the flounder ashore and present a bigger wish.
A well-known fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm collection.
