"the other day i went fishing with my brother's hook and dropped it, how, i am sure i can't tell. as my brother prizes his fishing hook above all his other possessions, this is the greatest calamity that could have befallen me. unless i find it again i can never hope to win my brother's forgiveness, for he is very angry at what i have done. i have searched for it many, many times, but i cannot find it, therefore i am much troubled. while i was hunting for the hook, in great distress, i met a wise old man, and he told me that the best thing i could do was to come to ryn gu, and to ryn jin, the dragon king of the sea, and ask him to help me. this kind old man also showed me how to come. now you know how it is i am here and why. i want to ask ryn jin, if he knows where the lost hook is. will you be so kind as to take me to your father? and do you think he will see me?" asked the happy hunter anxiously.
