"oh, i did not know that you were okuni-nushi-no-mikoto. how kind you have been to me! it is impossible to believe that that unkind fellow who sent me to bathe in the sea is one of your brothers. i am quite sure that the princess, whom your brothers have gone to seek, will refuse to be the bride of any of them, and will prefer you for your goodness of heart. i am quite sure that you will win her heart without intending to do so, and she will ask to be your bride."
