The little gold fish - last part
'Well, what does she want now?' asked the little gold fish.
'Ahimè Alas (how do you say this?)' the man said 'She wants to become a queen.'
'Go ahead, she already has the crown on her head.'
The fisherman went back to the palace and he saw it had become much bigger. In front of the main entrance there were many guards in full uniform and inside, on a throne of gold and diamonds , sat was sitting his wife with the crown on her head and surrounded by the court.
'My dear wife' said the fisherman 'what how a beautiful you are now that you're a queen! Now there's nothing more you can desire.'
'I'll think it over about that' the woman replied.
They went to bed and the man slept deeply, but his wife couldn't get to sleep and she tossed and turned over all the night.
At dawn the woman looked out the window and saw the sun rising. She thought she would have liked to make the sun and the moon rise and fall.
'Husband' she said 'Wake up, go to that fish and tell him I want to become as powerful as God.'
The good fisherman got so much was so frightened scared that he fell out of bed. He thought he hadn't understood right. 'Oh dear wife, whatever have you ever said!'
'Husband' she said 'I can't absolutely stand it to stay here watching the sun and the moon rising and setting falling; I want to be the one who orders that!'
She looked at him so harshly badly that he trembled shuddered. 'Go right away now, I command you, I'm your queen!'
The man fell to his knees in front of her and begged her: 'Dear wife, I beg you, return to yourself (rientra in te stessa?) go back to you old self and be content with being the queen!'
The woman went on a rampage, her hair swirled around her head, she tore her robes shirt, gave him a kick and cried 'I can't stand it resist, do are you going there or not?!'
The fisherman put on his trousers and ran away like as a fool. Outside the storm raged so much that it was hard to stand up: the houses crumbled crashed, the mountains trembled, the sky was dark and flashed with thunder and lightening, and the sea swelled in waves as high as church towers.
Without being able to hearing his words the fisherman shouted out:
Little gold fish, little gold fish,
come to me miserable as I am!
My wife has gone mad,
now she wants another something else!'
'Well, what does she want?' asked the king of all fishes.
'She wants to become as powerful as God.'
'Go home ahead, she has already got what she deserves.'
The fisherman went back to his wife and he found her at the entrance of the cave, as poor as before. And they could never change again.
The moral of the story: Never listen to your wife, ahahah :)
