　Some people went on a voyage.

　When the ship paddled out far, suddenly the big storm arose.  And it was about to sink.

　The passengers on the board started praying loudly.

“Lord, please have mercy on us.  Please do not sink the ship.

　If you help us, we will make offerings as much as we can.”

　But, once the storm was gone, everyone started banqueting, dancing and jumping around.

　They thought it was all over and safe.

　But, only the captain was thoughtful and said to the merry passengers.

“Everyone, enjoying yourselves is great,

　but, you must member a storm could come anytime.”



　One should never rest easy yet.

　Disasters occur when you forget about them.
