 Mink answered, "I am doing this because you do not let our world be calm." Southeast Wind answered quickly, "Oh, Chief, now your world shall always be calm, and your sea shall always be smooth." So he spoke to Mink.

Mink said, "Don't give us too much. I do not say that it is good when our world is always calm." Thus he spoke.

Then Southeast Wind said, "It shall not blow in your world for four days." Thus he said. Then those who held him let him go at once, because Southeast Wind was very much afraid of Born-to-be-the-Sun.

Therefore the southeast wind does not blow all the time, on account of what Mink did. This is the end.
