“Nothing, nothing,” she replied. But her mind kept drifting to a song she had heard when she was little. A song that sailors and fishermen used to sing long ago to bring them luck and good catches.

Mate and Martha spent their time peacefully and simply in their cabin atop the red rock until the moment Martha asked the sea king, Ahtheiri, to grant her a cow. Since then, everything changed, and their humble daily life transformed into a lavish one.

But where do Martha's desires end? When will she have enough to feel happy?
