To his surprise, the fish spoke in a human voice and begged him to let it go. "I'll do whatever you wish," the fish said. After 12.thinking(think) for a while, the man said, "I need nothing from you." He let the fish free and then went home to tell his wife what happened.

She then wanted the fish 20.to make(make) her a queen. The fish listened to his request but said nothing. Then it disappeared into the sea. The old man waited, but the fish did not come back. When he got home he found his wife sitting outside their old house with nothing but a broken washtub.
