Then the man had his servants pour the silver into a mold "ooh," one of them exclaimed, "the mold is shaped like a big fish " "it's beautiful " cried another.
The man hid the silver fish behind a wall in house. He planned to return for it somebody. Then he left. Many years passed, but the man never returned. Over time, the house became run-down. The woman who owned it was very poor. She could not afford to repair it. Eventually, the city leaders told her to tear down the old house.
