The magic Fishbones is about a child named Yeh Hsien. Yeh Hsien had a stepmother who hated Yeh Hsien. The stepmother made Yeh Hsien chop wood in dangerus woods. One day whenYeh Hsien was chopping wood she saw a beautyful fish with red scails. Yeh Hsien kept the fish in a pond near where she lived. The fish only came for Yeh Hsien. So the step mother was annoyed when the fish never came to see her so the stepmother had a plan. The next day the stepmother siad to Yeh Hsien to change her clothes to a new dress and jaket. The stepmother changed her clothes to Yeh Hsiens clothes. The stepmother put a sharp knife up her sleeve and went over to the pond. The fish lept up and the stepmother quickly killled the fish and berried the bones in a dung hill. When Yeh Hsien went over to the pond and saw the fish was gone she was very sad. Then an old man came and told Yeh Hsien that thoes fish bones where magical and could make wishes. It was time to celebrate by the time the man went away. Everyone got into beautyful clothes but Yeh Hsien had to stay underneath a mullberry tree. Yeh Hsiens father Wu was sad that Yeh Hsien couldn’t come and Wu relized that the stepmother was crule and mean. Then Yeh Hsien went to her side of the cave and brought out the magic fishbones.Yeh Hsien wished that she could have a lovely dress and beautyful slippers! Then Yeh Hsien joined the fun. There was lots and lots of yummy food. But there was her stepmother and stepsister,they were looking at her in a puzzled way. Yeh Hsien ran back home and put on her normal clothes. Then she went back under the mullberry tree. The king of China found the slipper and said “whoever fits this slipper shall be my wife”. Soon the king went to Yeh Hsiens house. The slipper was to small for the stepmother and the stepsister. Then Yeh Hsien tried on the slipper. Her foot fitted the slipper just right! So Yeh Hsien married the king and took the fishbones with her. Yeh Hsien told the king about the fishbones. Because Yeh Hsien told the king about the fishbones he became very greedy. He wished for more gold,more money and for all other precious things. Then one day the fishbones refused to give any more wishes. So the king berried the fishbones in a place near the sea. The fishbones got washed away and where never found to this day.
