What is Please, Mr Magic Fish! about?

When Jack catches a magical fish, he is promised one wish in return for setting it free. His first wish brings Jack and Liz a cosy cottage, but soon they want a bigger house, greater riches and even a palace. As their wishes grow, so does the fish’s anger. When the sea begins to rage, Jack and Liz must face the consequences of their greed and learn that happiness does not come from always wanting more.
