Reading Notes: Turkish Fairy Tales (part A)

Fourty- Four Turkish Fairy Tales by Ignacz Kunos

The Fish- Peri
Beautiful Bicolor Parrotfish Source

-Basically a magic fish!
-So a man's parents died and they kept hidden his fathers occupation of a fisherman
-He found his fathers fishing net and decided to use it, as he was poor.
-He caught a fish so beautiful he couldn't bare to eat or sell it and it cleaned his house when he was away
-He secretly watched and found out that it was a secret maiden and threw the shedded fish skin in the fire
-News of her beauty spread and the king demanded to see her...cinderella-esque!
- The king wanted her to be his wife and struck up a deal with the man, if he could build a palace with jewels and gold in 40 days he could have her back... I would end the story here on a cliffhanger possibly!
