There are two neighboring islands. In the first one live two men: an uncivilized savage and a civilized man. On the other island, there are several people, among them a girl who is in love and has a relationship with the civilized man.
The girl wants to go to the opposite island to meet her lover. She asks the only boatman of the island how much he wants to take her there. The boatman says that he does not want money and he will take her to the other island if she is naked in the boat.
The girl is shocked… not knowing what to do she goes to the wise man of the island to ask for help. He listens to her story with attention and gives the following advice: “Do what your heart tells you, my child…” So the girl decides to accept the proposal of the boatman in order to meet her beloved man.
So, they go to the other island. But when they arrive, the savage is on the seafront and gets crazy at the sight of the naked woman so he rapes her… At the same moment, the civilized man comes and sees the scene. He goes mad and tells the girl that he does not want her anymore and she must leave immediately…

I don't see how the wise man represents how a person values logic. The wise man gave absolutely no logic or reasoning in his advice. It was just some mystical orical bull. That and the civilized man is absolutely insane. I mean to mistake a woman being raped for cheating on him is outrageous. The wise man is actually a jerk because he gives her terrible advise. Clearly the boatman has poor intentions. Who would suggest a woman get on a boat alone with a man that insists she's naked? The savage man is the only one I can't blame. I mean he's just a beast. Like a mentally ill man I cannot hold him responsible for the evils he does. He is an animal in a human body. He is to be restrained, but not punished. The girl, although having little responsibility, is stupid for getting in the boat naked along with trusting the non-so-wise-man.
