Once upon a time, there was a kind old fisherman named
Mateo. He lived in a small village by the sea and was known for his honesty.
One day, while fishing, he caught a golden fish. To his surprise, the fish
spoke.
"Please set me free," the fish said. "I will
grant you any wish."
Mateo thought for a moment and replied, "I don't need
anything. I will set you free."
The golden fish was happy. "Because you are kind and
selfless, call me if you ever need help."
Years went by, and a terrible storm hit the village. The
people were hungry and sad. Remembering the fish's promise, Mateo went to the
sea and called for the golden fish.
"Golden fish, please help us," Mateo said.
The fish appeared and said, "Your village will have
plenty of fish and food."
The next day, the villagers found their nets full of fish.
They rebuilt their homes and lived happily. They thanked Mateo and built a
statue of the golden fish in the village.
From then on, the village prospered, and everyone remembered
the power of kindness and selflessness.
Moral of The Story: Being kind and thinking of others brings true happiness and good fortune.
