A fisherman and his wife are very poor, and he is happy. The wife, however, is unhappy, and wishes that he would catch more fish in order to make a better living. While fishing, he catches a talking fish and takes it home to prove to his wife what he had found. The fish does not want to leave and gives the couple three wishes if they let him stay. They fumble around and get mad at the fish, telling him that they wish he would shut up- thus destroying all their hopes of getting rich. Eventually, they end up poor and back to square one.

8. Bullwinkle's Corner - Taffy

19 ago 1962

Bullwinkle recites the poem "Taffy." However, in the telling of the story, Boris (in the role of Taffy) begins to "bend and ad-lib" his parts. For example, instead of stealing "a piece of beef," Taffy steals a whole cow. Bullwinkle gets upset as the poem is changed, and he thinks that he's got Boris with the last line of the poem. ("I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed. I took a marrow bone and hit him on the head.") However, upon arriving, Boris takes the marrow bone and hits Bullwinkle in the head, giving the story an unhappy ending, much to Boris' delight.

And this is just the beginning of the story! A wicked, wicked satire that takes on 12-step programs, the DAR and the NRA in only four minutes!

42. Fractured Fairytales - Sleeping Beauty

23 set 1962

A Wicked Fairy casts a beautiful Princess into a never-ending sleep. The Prince who comes to awaken her changes his mind when he sees a chance for commercial exploitation-and turns her castle into a theme park and charges admission for the public to view her. (It is surely mere coincidence that the Prince is a dead ringer for Walt Disney!) When the Wicked Fairy shows up and wants her cut of the action, the Prince must dispose of her if he is to retain control of "Sleepingbeautyland." But is the Princess REALLY asleep? Who's exploiting whom?
