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."

这时,大海以女人的形象出现了,并且对他说:“喂,朋友,你别责怪我,应该责怪风!我本是平静的,但是只要风猛然刮过来,就会掀起惊涛骇浪,使我变得残暴。这并不是我的本性。”
