Anyway, the young fisherman believed some fabricated rumor of a bad guy and asked for the bracelet that worn on the hand of the fisher girl. Although the girl explained to the young fisherman that she would die straight even if she removes either one of the bracelet, he did not believe her explanation. As a result, she removed a bracelet, presented to the young fisherman and died. The death of the girl had shocked the young fisherman and he cried day and night.
