Description

In this story, a man finds a magic fish and wants to marry her. The trouble is, the padishah also thinks that she is beautiful and wants her for himself. He gives ever increasingly impossible tasks, only for the magic fish bride to use her magic ways to save him. Look out for flying donkeys and slap happy babies.

Listener shoutout: Anguilla The native Arawak name for the island was Malliouhana. In reference to the island's shape, the Italian anguilla, meaning "eel" (in turn, from the Latin diminutive of anguis, “snake”) was used as its name.
