Plot

A poor man is sent by his wife to buy fish. On the way to the fish market, he gets drunk, using the money he was supposed to buy the fish with. The man does not dare go home without fish, and he steals a small boat with fishing gear to try his luck. He does not catch any fish, and he drinks the rest of the alcohol he has left before he falls asleep in the boat. As he sleeps, he dreams that he is engaged in a coastal raid at Kavringen, where he experiences many marvelous things. When he wakes up his wife appears, and the mysteries he experienced in his sleep are resolved by his wife with striking arguments.

Cast
gollark: Have you considered that restricting free speech to people you like somewhat defeats the point?
gollark: Some things are not very commonsensical. Especially complex longer term trends.
gollark: Apart from that quote people keep repeating about repeating history.
gollark: This is why we also have history erasure memetics. Sure, they may not actually work well (like the gender erasure ones), but there's no particular downside.
gollark: Names are also passed down from the olden times. People have these books explaining the "meaning" of every name they might pick for a child.
