The Three Wishes
One evening a poor peasant sat near the fire talking with his wife.
“If only I had a little money myself,” he said, “I should open my own shop”.
“I”, answered his wife,” should be happy if I lived in a big house. But what is the use of talking, we are no longer in the fairies. If only I could meet one of them, it would not take me long to decide what to ask of her.”
Hardly had she said these words, when a beautiful young lady appeared in their room and told them she was a fairy willing to grant them the first three wishes. But they should choose with care as she could allow them no more than three wishes. Then the beautiful fairy disappeared.
At first the husband and wife were astonished. Then they began discussing the first wish that it would be best to have. They quarreled for a long time and finally decided to wish nothing for a while and put it off till next day.
“Oh! It would not be a bad thing to have a good sausage for our supper”, the woman said without thinking and a long thick sausage fell on their table. Being hot-headed the husband got very angry and began scolding his wife.
“You are such a stupid woman! I wish this sausage would stick to your nose!” The sausage jumped up and stuck to the woman’s nose.
“What have you done?!” cried the frightened woman.
The husband understood that he himself had been even foolish than his wife, but no matter how he tried he could not tear the sausage off his wife’s nose. And they continued quarreling.
Finally they understood that they had only one wish left. They thought for a long time and at last agreed to have their last wish. They wished the sausage to fall on the table, which it did. They ate it with good appetite.

Singers must be over 16, after a 13-year-old from Belgium won the competition the year before. There are no rules about the languages. Groups can sing in their own languages, or in English. The competition is always in the country where the last year’s winner came from.
