suddenly a bright light came towards him , and in the light stood a messenger . the messenger held a book in his hand , and spoke to sentaro : " i am sent to you by jofuku , who in answer to your prayer , has permitted you in a dream to see the land of perpetual life . but you grew weary of living there , and begged to be allowed to return to your native land so that you might die . jofuku , so that he might try you , allowed you to drop into the sea , and then sent a shark to swallow you up . your desire for death was not real , for even at that moment you cried out loudly and shouted for help . "
he cried loudly for help when he thought the shark would eat him .
