The Fisherman's Wife

 

May 7, 2025

 

There’s a fairy tale about a fisherman who catches a magic fish. The fish talks the fisherman into letting it go, then grants him wishes.

 

He wishes for a better house.

 

Then his wife asks for something else, and something else, and something else. She wants a bigger house, then a castle, then a realm, and then to be Pope. 

 

But when she asks to become Lord of the Universe, the fish says that she has gone too far, and she and the fisherman have to go back to living in their hovel.

 

Donald Trump wants to be Pope. Sound familiar?
