Swaying its broad, flat body as it drifted leisurely, the sunfish opened its mouth slowly, like a sage of the sea.
“Hello, little Haenyeo?” “Oh, it's a sunfish.”
“Guryong told me in a dream to help you, so I came up to the surface.” “I need to meet Guryong too. Can you help me?”
The sunfish blinked its large eyes and nodded.
"We sea friends can't just help humans. Only if you solve the we give you can we help you. To reach Guryong, you must pass through that rock gate. Care to try?“ ”Of course! I absolutely must go.“
Soeun approached the rock gate, guided by the sunfish. These words were carved into the rock gate.
