Спойлер: дедушка ловит волшебную рыбу, которая исполняет желания. Дедушке ничего не нужно, но его жена хочет получить дорогие вещи и стать королевой моря. В итоге, бабушка сначала получает, а потом теряет всё.
Эта сказка о том, что нельзя быть жадным и нужно ценить всё, что у тебя есть сейчас. 


Russian with a tale

А.С. Пушкин и его сказка "о рыбаке и рыбке"

In this story, an elephant named Eleven does whatever it takes to maintain peace, even using violence. This is Part 4 of 5. 

As Eleven watched the thieves creep forward, he considered what course of action to take. He could tell the monkeys about the thieves, possibly causing a physical fight to break out. Or he could stop the thieves himself, either scaring them off with his roar or his powerful tusks. Either way, conflict was unavoidable. 

Peace was Eleven’s his highest value. If anything attempted to disrupt it, he made sure to remove it from his life. He saw himself as a protector of peace. It never occurred to him that he might have been actually afraid of healthy conflict.
 
So, believing there to be no ethical dilemma, Eleven decided to conceal the thieves’ robbery. This way the thieves would get what they want, the monkeys would only realize after the fact, and, most importantly, Eleven could get back to his relaxing day in the sun.  

Eleven positioned himself in such a way as to block any view of the robbery. The fox and wild chicken snatched the bananas and made their way for the bushes. However, at that exact moment, one of the monkeys, having climbed up a tree and swung itself into the river, was flying through the air and saw the robbery. 

Splashing into the river, the monkey screamed and shrieked, trying its best to alert the others. But they were too busy slapping each other to notice anything.
 
In an instant, without giving the moment proper reflection, only thinking about his own interests and his self-appointed duty, Eleven forcefully swung his trunk and whacked the shrieking monkey, who flew with great speed into the dense forest and out of sight.
