What happened? asked the woodsman. I was in the forest. Why am I here now? His wife
kissed him and explained.
The woodsman listened to her story. Then he became angry. He shouted at his wife
for the first time. You wasted one of our wishes. Now we have only two left. You
are so foolish! I wish you had donkey ears!
His wifes ears began to grow. They change into big donkey ears. The woman touched
her long ears and cried. Her husband felt very bad about what he said.
The family is happy again
The old man said, You never shouted at each other before. Now you are different.
You know you can have power and be rich. You have one wish left. Do you want to
be rich? Do you want to have beautiful clothes?
The woodsman said, We only want to be happy again, like before.
The donkey ears disappear. The woodsman and his wife thanked God. They were happ
