One day, a poor fisherman, Khairul, got ready for all his fishing gear and was in high spirits as he left his house to catch some fish for dinner. Waving at his beautiful wife, Ainah, he said, "I will bring home the biggest fish I have ever caught for you." Ainah nodded eagerly and her heart leapt with great expectations.The sun was about to set and Khairul grew impatient. He muttered to himself, "I have waited the whole day and have used the best bait yet I have caught nothing. Ainah would be very disappointed with me."As he finished uttering these words, he felt a strong thud at the rod. He pulled as hard as he could and was amazed at the sight he beheld. There loomed before him was a large blue fish which could talk!"Please have mercy on me. Please release me and I will grant you three wishes for the day!" the fish pleaded.Khairul lit up when he listened to what the fish said. He could not believe his good fortune! "Ainah would be so pleased with me today!" he thought to himself. Within seconds, he let the fish off its hook. In a jiffy, he hurriedly packed all his gear and soon he set off for home.Upon reaching home, he quickly broke the good news to his wife who was still raging mad because he did not bring any fish home. "I waited and waited and you have brought home no fish! I am so hungry. What should we have for dinner tonight? How I wish I could have sausages!"Suddenly, a long sausage appeared in front of them. Ainah was so delighted but Khairul exclaimed, "You silly woman! Now you have wasted the first wish! How I wish the sausage would stick to your nose!""Oh no! Oh no! What am I to do? I can't be going everywhere with a long sausage stuck to my nose! Get this silly thing off my nose," cried Ainah. They tried hard to pull off the sausage but all their efforts were futile."Ainah, we have only one wish left. I want to be rich but look at your nose," Khairul said.Ainah looked at her husband and said, "I don't want to live my whole life with a sausage stuck to my nose. How I wish that this sausage would disappear!"Like magic, the sausage vanished in a puff of smoke from their sight. They wer so happy that they kissed and hugged each other.
