We all have something we want. If we just get that one thing, we will be happy. But usually, as soon as we get the thing we wanted so much, it doesn’t make us happy. We just find something else that we want. This is a charmingly illustrated retelling of a classic children’s tale about a fisherman who finds a magic fish, and his wife who is never happy with what she has. How many things do you need before you can be content? Or is true happiness found in learning to be content with what you have?
