When he came home and told his wife about the golden fish the old woman sent him back to the sea to ask for a new washtub. When the old woman got it from the golden fish, she sent her husband to ask for a new house, then a palace instead of the house. Then she wanted to become a queen. The golden fish made her a queen, but when the old woman demanded the golden fish become her servant, the golden fish said nothing and swam away. What happened later?

Answer 2

As an AI language model, I do not have a country or a physical presence. However, I can tell you about a popular folk tale from India called "The Monkey and the Crocodile."

The story is about a monkey who lived on a tree near a river. One day, a crocodile approached the monkey and asked him to come to the other side of the river to eat some delicious fruits. The monkey agreed, and they became friends. The crocodile's wife liked the monkey's heart, and she asked her husband to bring it for her to eat. The crocodile tricked the monkey by telling him that his wife was ill and needed the monkey's heart to cure her. The monkey, unaware of the crocodile's plan, agreed and hopped on the crocodile's back. When they reached the middle of the river, the crocodile revealed his plan, but the monkey was quick-witted and told the crocodile that he left his heart on the tree. The crocodile believed him and swam back to the tree, where the monkey escaped safely.

The moral of the story is that cleverness can sometimes outwit strength, and it is not always wise to trust someone blindly.
