 | The turtle took Urashima Taro down to a beautiful palace under the ocean. Urashima Taro was amazed that he could breathe underwater. |
 | He was even more amazed when he met the beautiful princess, Otohime. She danced and sang for him, and offered him delicious things to eat. |
 | Otohime took Urashima Taro on a tour of her palace. She showed him many wonderful treasures. There was a magic window where they could see the seasons rapidly changing in Albia. How fragile and delicate the world looked as the seasons raced by. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... |
 | These were the happiest moments of Urashima Taro's life. He wished it would last forever, but after a while he began to think of his home. His mother was probably worried about him by now. |
 | Urashima Taro thanked the Sea Princess for her kindness, but said that it was time to go home now. |
 | With tears in her eyes, Otohime said goodbye to Urashima Taro. As he left, she gave him a gift, but told him that he must never open it. |
