Once upon a time, there were a family of four people who lived on a boat. The boat was riding along the waves of a sea monster, and had profited from all of it. The monster would let the family use it, but it requires an offering of feed every month or so, of a lot of krill. Otherwise, the monster usually dwells in the deep, and it comes up to breathe every two or three years. It used to take up to ten years, but now that it’s old, it comes up to breathe every two years, and it’s coming up to breathe again soon.
