The text is for question no. 36 to 38.

Long ago, in a fisherman village, lived a young fisher named Urashima. When he returned
home, he saved a small turtle from naughty children. One day when Urashima fished in the sea,
a big turtle appeared and talked to Urashima that it was the small turtle he had been saved. It
was there to repay his kindness. It asked Urashima to go deep down into the sea to meet the
King. Lead by the turtle, Urashima took amazing journey into the deeper sea. There he met the
Sea King and his beautiful princess.

The fisherman lived there and enjoyed their hospitality until one day he began to miss his home.
He explained them that he wished to return to his own home. The Sea King gave him a gift. It
was black lacquered box, beautifully made and decorated with the most precious art of the sea.
It was tied with an elegant red ribbon. The King said that the box would always give him
happiness as long as he kept it closed.

The village seemed unchanged, but he could not find his families and sadness filled his heart.
He took the box and thought of the beautiful princess and her enchanting world. Perhaps, he
thought, she has left me some happiness inside the box. Ignoring her warning, he opened the
lid. Suddenly Urashima became a very old man and was getting sadder. He had pursued
happiness over obedience so he had lost the protection against the effects of Time.
