The happy farmer and his wife
Once upon a time, there was a poor
farmer called Fred. He and his wife
Doris lived in a small, old house.
One day, a fairy visited them.
"Fred, I'd like to give you three
wishes,” said the fairy.
Fred and Doris smiled at each other
and said, "Thank you, but we don’t
need any wishes."
“I can give you some gold. Then
you won't have to work," said the
fairy.
"Thank you. We're poor, but we're
happy," said Doris.
“I can give you a big, new house,"
said the fairy.
"Thank you. Our house is small
dorisand old, but it’s warm and nice,"
answered Fred.
"I wish you a happy life," said the
Fairy.
