Van het Toovervischje. - Een oud sprookje Opnieuw verteld en berijmd.
Colofon - Codering
In a windswept realm of golden dunes, a tiny couple of dwarf folk named Piggelmee and his wife make their humble home inside an old, overturned clay pot. Their days are spent hunting rabbits with a minuscule gun and scrambling through the narrow hole they have carved, while they dream of a steadier, safer shelter. One bright summer morning a whispered news arrives in the dwarf‑size newspaper: a magical fish is swimming near the shore, offering any request to those who ask politely.
Excited and hopeful, the pair call out to the silver‑voiced fish, asking for a proper little house with a chimney and a door. The fish obliges instantly, and a snug cottage appears where their pot once lay. Yet the newly‑furnished home feels incomplete, and Piggelmee’s wife soon imagines chairs, a table, curtains, and even a mirror—all the little comforts a tiny family could cherish. The story follows their cheerful attempts to coax the generous fish for each new wish, weaving humor and wonder into a timeless fairy‑tale retelling.
