The ruined boat that asks for a ladle

What the record says

When you go out to sea in a boat at night, a half-wrecked boat draws near and its boatmen cry, "A ladle, give us a ladle." If you hand one over they scoop up water and pour it into your boat, so you must knock the bottom out before you give it to them.

Our summary in English of the record as catalogued; the original card is in Japanese.
