After receiving more food, the wife sent the fisherman to ask the fish for a bigger house while she nervously picked at the expensive lobster feast spread before her. she became perpetually restless and irritable, pacing the house until the fisherman returned home each day to discover his wife’s latest longing.

soon his wife felt unsatisfied with the new, luxurious house; she wanted to control more things on earth, so she sent her husband back to the fish with a request to make her queen of the seas. once again, the exhausted fisherman walked to the sea. hesitantly, he called every fish that lived there until the golden fish pushed aside each sardine and minnow, ready to grant the next wish. but when the fish heard that the wife wanted control of everything in the fish’s aquatic home, the fish squinted at the uncertain fisherman.

“enough! ” said the fish, and the fisherman’s new house immediately turned back into the small cottage where he and his wife had once lived. their extravagant food became simple again, and the fisherman’s wife once again learned to cherish the little that they had. their love renewed once riches and wishes ceased breaking them apart. although the fisherman still caught fish of every other name, the golden fish never returned.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
