‘What!’ tried his wife. ‘You dare to disobey me?<br />

Remember that I am the King, and you are merely my<br />

husband. Do as I command you, this instant!’<br />

Off went the Fisherman, muttering: ‘Trouble will<br />

come of this!’ and when he reached the pooi it was to<br />

find the sea quite black and thick, boiling and bubbling<br />

up from below, while a sharp wind lashed it into foam.<br />

The Fishermanwas afraid; but he stood on the edge<br />

and cried:<br />

‘Magic Flounder of ihe sea<br />

Come, I pray you, here to me!<br />

For my wife, my Isabel<br />

Asks a thing that is not well.’<br />

Up through the water came the Flounder and said:<br />

‘What is is that she wants this time?’<br />

‘Alas,’ said the Fisherman, ‘she wants to be Emperor.’<br />

‘Go home,’ said the Flounder, ‘she is already Emperor.’<br />

So the Fisherman went home, and this time the very<br />

doors were of gold, while his wife the Emperor sat on a<br />

throne made ofsolid gold, with a diamond crown on her<br />

head and Kings to attend on her.<br />
