After hearing the captain's call, the passengers scrambled, threw away their belongings, and hurried to the ship. Some of them rushed to the boat, and some before they had time to get on the boat, the so-called island had already shaken and then sank, and all the people on the island were submerged in the sea.

I myself am one who drowned in the sea. Just when my life was in danger and I was about to drown, thanks to God's blessing, I found a large wooden pallet abandoned by a passenger floating beside me. I reached out to grab the pallet, leaned on it, swung my feet from side to side, like oars, and tried to fight against the waves. , hoping to float to the side of the ship and be saved. But the captain ignored the drowned passengers and sailed away. I watched the boat go away, feeling extremely disappointed and convinced that I would be buried in the belly of the fish.

Under such circumstances, I drifted in the sea for a whole day and night, letting the wind and waves beat me. The next day, I was pushed to a deserted island by the wind and waves. I grabbed a branch hanging on the water and climbed ashore. My feet were bitten by fish and were badly bruised. I was so weak and in so much pain that I couldn't move, and it looked like I was about to die. So I fell to the ground and fell unconscious. In such a coma, it was not until the sun came up the next day that he slowly woke up; but his feet were swollen and painful, and he could not move, so he could only crawl slowly on his hands and knees.

There are all kinds of wild fruits on the island, as well as clear springs. I picked wild fruits to satisfy my hunger, drank spring water to quench my thirst, and rested quietly for a few days. When my energy gradually recovered, my physical strength gradually increased, and I could move freely, I decided to find a way out. So I broke off a branch and used it as a walking stick, roaming along the seaside and watching all kinds of strange and beautiful sights.

I continued my walk along the waterfront. One day, a vague shadow appeared far away. I thought it was a wild beast or an animal in the sea. So I walked towards that direction with curiosity, and when I took a closer look, it turned out to be a tall horse tied to the seaside. I walked over and it hissed, which startled me. I was about to retreat, but someone came out of the hole in the ground, yelled, walked up to me, and asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing here?"

"I am a traveler. I took a ship to conduct business overseas. I was in danger along the way. I and some other travelers fell into the sea. Fortunately, we grabbed a big wooden tray and drifted in the waves for a day and a night before being pushed here by the wind and waves."

After listening to my story, he reached for me and said, "Come with me." Then he led me into the cellar, walked into a hall, made me sit down, and served me food and drink. I was so hungry that I devoured it and had a hearty meal. Then he asked about my life experience and experience, and I recounted my experience in detail from beginning to end. He was very surprised when he heard this. I said again: "I swear to God, I have told you my situation and experiences, please don't be offended. Now I hope you tell me: Who are you? Why do you live in this hall in the hole? Did you take that horse?" What do you mean by being tied to the beach?"

“We are the horse breeders for King Hilga, and we are scattered in every area of ​​the island.

Whenever the moon shines, we choose a tall, strong mare, tie it to the seaside, and then hide in this cellar to watch the movement.

After some time, the seahorse smelled the female horse's scent and ran out of the sea to lure the female horse and take her to the sea. But the females were tied and unable to escape, so they neighed, kicked, and mated. We heard the sound and ran out, roaring loudly to scare away the seahorses. From then on, the female horses became pregnant, and the ponies born from the cross were each worth a treasury of silver, and the ponies were extremely beautiful.

Now is the time for Kaiba to land. If God is willing, I will take you to see King Hilga and let you visit our land. You have to know that this place is deserted. If you don't meet us, you will be alone and lonely. You may even sacrifice your life and no one will know. We met unexpectedly. This is the reason why your life is saved and you can return to your hometown. "

I wish him well and thank him for his kindness. While they were talking to each other, a seahorse came to the shore, neighed, jumped in front of the mare, and tried to take her away; then they kicked and fought, and the mare screamed in fright. The horse breeder heard the sound, picked up his sword and iron shield, ran out of the cellar, and shouted to his companions: "The seahorse has landed, everyone, come out quickly!"

He shouted and knocked on the iron shield, so many people responded and ran out from all directions with weapons in hand. The shouts shook the wild and scared away the buffalo-like seahorses.

In an instant, the horse stewards each led a horse and came to us. They saw me with their companions and asked how I was doing. I recounted my experience to win their sympathy, so they all came close to me, sat down on the ground, spread out a sheet, took out food and drinks, and everyone gathered around to eat and drink.

After eating, we set off on horseback. I also rode a horse and continued to move forward with them, from the suburbs to the city and into the palace. They first reported and asked for instructions from King Maihirga, and then took me in with the king's permission.

I respectfully wish and pay tribute to the king. He welcomed me, respected me, and asked me how I was doing. I recounted my experiences and knowledge from the beginning. He was surprised when he heard it and said: "My child! I swear to God, you escaped safely. If you were not a long-lived person, it would be difficult to escape from that kind of disaster. Praise God, you are out of danger."

So he treated me favorably, respected me, comforted me with kind words, and kept me in the palace to manage the port and register passing ships.

From then on, I served in the palace, worked diligently and carefully, and won the appreciation and respect of the king. He gave me gorgeous clothes to wear, often accompanied the king, participated in state affairs, and worked for the welfare of the people. So I stayed there for a long time.

At that time, whenever I went to the seaside, I often asked business travelers and sailors about the direction to Gedda. I also hoped that someone would go there so that I could go home with them. But no one knew how to get to Gedda, and no one wanted to go to Gedda. I was disappointed and depressed for a long time.

One day, I went into the palace to see King Hilga. I met a group of deserters in the palace, and I went up to greet them. They answered me enthusiastically, talked to me, and asked me my nationality.

I asked about their hometown, and it is said that they are of different ethnic groups. Some belong to the Shakar people, who are a kind people with an honest character and do not abuse or wrong others. Some are Brahmins. This ethnic group does not drink alcohol and has a good environment and a good life Wealthy, beautiful, emotional, good at raising livestock. They told me that there were seventy-two ethnic groups in India; I was very surprised to hear this.

Within the jurisdiction of King Hilga, there is a small island called Bilu, where the sound of drums and gongs can be heard all night long. Local people and travelers told us that the islanders are all smart and capable people. In the sea there, I saw a twenty-foot-long fish and an owl fish. In addition, there are many kinds of strange and strange things. It would be a long story to describe them in detail.
