A Shipwrecked Man cast up on the beach fell asleep after his struggle with the waves. When he woke up, he bitterly reproached the Sea for its treachery in enticing men with its smooth and smiling surface, and then, when they were well embarked, turning in fury upon them and sending both ship and sailors to destruction.

The Sea arose in the form of a woman, and replied, "Lay not the blame on me, O sailor, but on the Winds. By nature I am as calm and safe as the land itself: but the Winds fall upon me with their gusts and gales, and lash me into a fury that is not natural to me."

這時，大海以女人的形象出現了，并且對他說：“喂，朋友，你別責怪我，應該責怪風！我本是平靜的，但是只要風猛然刮過來，就會掀起驚濤駭浪，使我變得殘暴。這并不是我的本性。”
