Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived with his wife. They were very poor, owning nothing but a single small hut and a cow. One day, while working in the field, the old man met a magical creature who promised to grant him three wishes.

The old man was thrilled and ran home to tell his wife. They decided to think carefully about their wishes. But as they sat by the fire discussing, the old man became hungry and, without thinking, wished for a sausage.

In an instant, a sausage appeared on the table. His wife was furious and began scolding him for wasting a wish. In her anger, she wished the sausage would stick to his nose—and, suddenly, it did!

Now they had only one wish left, and the poor man was left with a sausage stuck to his nose. They had no choice but to use the last wish to remove it. And so, they returned to having nothing but their little hut and their cow, just as before.

From that day on, they learned to think twice before making any hasty wishes.
