Question

3Tam wept when she saw the empty basket because she knew that punishment awaited her; however, she stopped crying abruptly when a beautiful woman appeared. The woman grinned sweetly and told Tam not to weep. 4“Your misfortunes will be over soon, Tam. Inside your basket, you will find one fish. Take it home and care for it,” said the woman. 5Tam put the fish in the well behind her house. Each time Tam neared the well, the fish surfaced, which made Tam very happy. One day, because Tam's stepmother despised Tam’s happiness, she removed the fish from the well and returned it to the river. The next time Tam visited the well, the fish did not surface. Tam instantly knew what had occurred and wept. Once again, the beautiful woman appeared. She instructed Tam to visit the fish at the edge of the river whenever she needed help.
