"i am sent to you by jofuku, who in answer to your prayer, has permitted you in a dream to see the land of perpetual life. but you grew weary of living there, and begged to be allowed to return to your native land so that you might die. jofuku, so that he might try you, allowed you to drop into the sea, and then sent a shark to swallow you up. your desire for death was not real, for even at that moment you cried out loudly and shouted for help."
