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.

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