Delightful, Charming Stories, So Simple, So Wise 1

Not mine. Just for a break

The Three Wishes

A wood cutter came home from the woods and told his wife that a fairy granted him three wishes.

During their dinner they discussed not to waste it on worthless wishes. Being hungry, her husband suddenly involuntarily said: “How I wish to have sausages to night.” And there came a dish with sausages.

“You stupid fool, wishing such a wish,” cried his wife angrily.

“Hold your tongue, you greedy woman. I wish these sausages to fasten on your nose” he retorted vehemently. Then the sausages hang on her nose.

“Oh no, no, no, cried his wife desperately.

Comforting her: he said: “don’t worry,. I still have one wish in store and we could still wish something valuable”.

“Wish these sausages back on the dish plate” she pleaded.

“Won’t you ever be sorry?”

“No, no, oh no.”
And so he wished the sausages to return on the table and they were reconciled, happy again and enjoyed the dinner.
