Jupiter appears thunderbolt in hand, and grants him three wishes, urging him to wish carefully. He tells his wife, Fanchon, and she too urges reflection. That night, drinking wine in front of the fire, he innocently wishes he had a nice sausage to go with it, and the sausage arrives. His wife is furious and screams at him for wasting a wish, at which point he wishes that the sausage would hang from the end of her nose. It is soon attached. With one wish left, he imagines asking to become the King, but sees his once-beautiful wife being crowned Queen with a sausage hanging from her nose, and realizes he must use his final wish to remove the sausage. Perrault concludes that few men are capable to put to good use the gifts that the heavens offer them.</p> <div class="row ucb-column-container"> <div class="col ucb-column"> <h3 dir="ltr">Fairy Tale Title</h3> <p>Souhaits ridicules</p> <h3 dir="ltr">Fairy Tale Author(s)/Editor(s)</h3> <p>Charles Perrault</p> <h3 dir="ltr"><strong>Fairy Tale Illustrator(s)&nbsp;</strong></h3> <p>None</p> <h3 dir="ltr">Common Tale Type</h3> <p>Foolish wishes</p> <h3 dir="ltr">Tale Classification</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3 dir="ltr">Page Range of Tale&nbsp;</h3> <p>pp. 1-12</p> <h3 dir="ltr">Full Citation of Tale&nbsp;</h3> <p>"Souhaites Ridicules." <em>Griselidis Nouvelle avec le conte de peau d’asne, et celuy des souhaits ridicules</em>, Charles Perrault, Quatrième édition, Paris, Jean-Baptists Coignard, 1695, pp. 1-12.</p> <h3 dir="ltr">Original Source of the Tale</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3 dir="ltr">Tale Notes</h3> <p>Les Souhaites ridicules is in verse.
