once upon a time
       there was a bear.
    it lived in a cave
       in the forest.
    
    in front of its cave
       flowed a sparkling stream
    full of
       delicious
       fish.
    
    one day
    the bear caught a fish
       that spoke.
    
    the fish said,
    "dear bear,
       please wait!
    don't eat me!
    i am a
       magic
       fish!"
    
    "magic?"
       asked the bear.
     
    "yes.
    i was a powerful alchemist
       but now i am under a spell.
    and if you spare my life,
       i can grant you
       three
       wishes."
    
    "wishes?"
       asked the bear.
     
    "yes!"
       said the fish,
       gasping a bit and getting very impatient,
    "three wishes!
       just be careful, you know,
       about what you wish for."
    
    "sounds dangerous"
       said the bear,
    
    and ate the fish.
