    Then she was not satisfied to be queen she wanted to be queen over the sun and moon. The man went to the sea and called the fish. He asked would his wife be queen over the sun and moon. The fish told him to go back to the ditch again. When he went back he saw his wife in the ditch and they were poor again.
