Finally the giant turtle decided that he needed to return to the sea.
Slowly raising his head, he spoke to the people, "Do not be afraid.
I will not hurt you. You see, I am a giant turtle, and you are living on my shell.
I must go back into the water, or I will die."
One by one, the people gathered their belongings and moved back onto the beach.
The giant turtle eased their buildings and homes and palaces off his back.
The people created new villages and cities on the earth and their lives went on as before.
最後，大龜王決定牠必須回到海裏去，所以慢慢地抬起頭來對人們說：「不要害怕！我不會傷害你們的。你看！我是一隻巨大的烏龜，可是你們卻住在我的背殼上；現在我必須回到水裏，否則我會死的。」
這時，人們一個接一個收拾他們的財物，然後搬到岸上。當背上的建築物、家園、宮殿被除去後，大龜王也感到舒服了。人們在陸地上建立了新的村落和城市，就如同以前一樣地過日子。
