    I like to imagine the interaction went like this…

    Fisherman: hey there

    Boat girl: …

    Fisherman, pushing the boat back to sea: welp, I tried!

      She wouldn’t let the fisherman look in her wooden box, so they came up with this while story about her being a foreign princess, married for convenience, and took an illicit lover, so they killed her lover and put his head in the box and set her to sea.

      That is an insane amount of bananas details for “she has a box and won’t let us see what’s inside.”

    Weird how these sorts of events happened less often after things like photography were invented.

    Convenient how the fishermen were like, “yeah, no one’s going to need to see the boat the lady came from or anything.”
