A young man, fishing by the shore, catches a magical fish with extraordinary scales. The fish offers him a wish - to meet with someone across time, but only for a single day. Years pass, and the man, now older, uses his wish to visit his mother after she falls ill, only to learn that she has already passed. As an elderly man, he uses his final wish to speak with his younger self, passing on a message to his mother through a note. Comparable works include The Monkey's Paw
