A long time ago, there lived a very beautiful girl. Many young men wished to marry her, but she did not like any of them. One day she went to the market. There she saw a very handsome young man. She approached him and said, "I like you very much. I wish to become your wife."
The young man said, "I am not a man, I am a fish from the river, I can change myself into a man whenever I like." The girl said
"You may be a fish, but I love you. Come out of the water and see me often and that will be enough for me."
The man taught her a song and said,
"Sing this song near the river and I will come out of the water to see you."
The girl and the fish became husband and wife.
