Originally published as Tulevai and the Sea, this story is about a boy fishing in a lagoon day after day. Unknown to him, he is watched by the Sea and one day, the Sea captures the boy and enslaves him. The boy's mother will not accept that he has been drowned or eaten by sharks and her great love for him enables her to do the impossible: to roll back the Sea and free her son. But even now the Sea still hunts for the boy and twice a month, when the moon is new and when the moon is full, the Sea comes right up the beach looking for him.
