Sharing the story
* Elaborate on the story by describing in greater detail each new home that the fish provides for the man and his wife.
* Ask the children to imagine the different features of the houses. These will probably reflect their (and their families') ideas of comfort and wealth, and may well be contemporary, for example, central heating, fitted kitchen and a swimming pool!
* Ask them to tell you about their dream homes. Tell them about yours. Write down their ideas and mount them along with drawings and photographs from interior design magazines. Ask other adults to contribute.
