[Story]
The crew of a small yacht was drifting aimlessly in the vast ocean, their credentials lost in a storm. Dreading the thought of being stranded, they decided to draft a plan to signal for help. As they searched for materials, they stumbled upon a mysterious creature, half-crazy from the sun and thirst. The creature, desperate for water, offered to help them in exchange for a small jar of cream. The crew, skeptical but desperate, agreed. The creature crawled into the depths of the ocean, resurfacing with a drill that could be used to signal for help. As the crew worked tirelessly to drill a hole in the hull, the creature slipped away, its mission accomplished.

一艘小船的船员在茫茫大海上漫无目的地漂流，他们的证件在风暴中丢失。想到可能会被困，他们决定起草一个求救信号的计划。在寻找材料时，他们遇到了一个神秘的生物，这个生物因为太阳和口渴而变得半疯。这个生物渴望得到水，提出以一小罐奶油为交换帮助他们。船员们虽然怀疑但又很绝望，于是同意了。这个生物潜入海洋深处，带着一个可以用来发信号的钻头浮出水面。当船员们不知疲倦地在船体上钻孔时，这个生物悄悄溜走了，完成了它的任务。
