There was a little front yard, and a beautiful little parlor, and a bedroom where their bed was standing, and a kitchen, and a dining room. Everything was beautifully furnished and supplied with tin and brass utensils, just as it should be. And outside there was a little yard with chickens and ducks and a garden with vegetables and fruit.
Look, said the woman. Isnt this nice?
Yes, said the man. This is quite enough. We can live here very well.
We will think about that, said the woman.
Then they ate something and went to bed.
Everything went well for a week or two, and then the woman said, Listen, husband. This cottage is too small. The yard and the garden are too little. The flounder could have given us a larger house. I would like to live in a large stone palace. Go back to the flounder and tell him to give us a palace.
Oh, wife, said the man, the cottage is good enough. Why would we want to live in a palace?
I know why, said the woman. Now you just go. The flounder can do that.
Now, wife, the flounder has just given us the cottage. I dont want to go back so soon. It may make the flounder angry.
Just go, said the woman. He can do it, and he wont mind doing it. Just go.
The mans heart was heavy, and he did not want to go. He said to himself, This is not right, but he went anyway.
