Reading The Old Man and the Sea, 9th Day.
Just before it was dark again, the old man's small line at the stern was taken by a dolphin. He pulled it in and lifted it over the stern. Theburnished gold fish pounded the bottom of the skiff with its long, flat body until the old man clubbed it across its golden head. That would be the old man's breakfast for tomorrow, although he knew it would taste terrible.

Reading The Old Man and the Sea, 9th Day.
The Old man's left hand was uncramped. He reminisced that one time he played a hand game against the great negro for one day and a night. In the end, the old man won; it was revealed that his name was Santiago El Campeon. The people in the tavern called him champion, but he stopped the matches because it was bad for his right hand. And he needed it to fish.

Reading The Old Man and the Sea, 8th Day.
The old man's left hand had crimped, and he was upset about it. The line slanted slowly upwards. The fish was coming up. It flew out of the sea, bright in the sun and fell back into it. It was two feet longer than the skiff. After witnessing the dark purple fish he is catching. He said his prayers and vowed that he would make a pilgrimage to Virgin de Cobre if he caught it.

While the fish kept tauting the old man and the boat, A warbler came around from the north and landed on the line. Seemed to be tried from its journey, it had a short rest on the skiff. The old man enjoyed its company until the fish lurched, forcing the warbler to leave. He felt the fish was swimming at a lesser depth as the sun rose. He ate the tuna to regain his strength.

The Old Man and the Sea, 6th Day.
He saw one of the green sticks dip sharply. He reached out for the line and held it softly. It was a marlin munching the bait fish. The old man waited patiently till it took the bait into its mouth. Then the old man struck hard, trying to pull it in. But he couldn't raise him an inch. And the skiff and him were dragged to North-west for the rest of the day and into the night.

Reading the old man and the sea, 5th Day.
A bird circled above the old man. There were bait fish flying out of the water, churning the current. The old man felt a taut from the line under his foot. He held the line firm as he felt the weight of a small tuna. Hauling it in, the old man swung him over the side, and an albacore landed on the stern. It weighed ten pounds and would be a good bait, the old man said.

Reading The Old Man and the Sea, 4th Day.
As the old man far out on the ocean, he felt the morning coming. He had his baits out and was driting with the current. Four baits were down in the water at different fathoms. He used two albacores that the boy gave to him as baits. Also a big blue runner and a yellow jack that had been used before. But so far in the story, no fish took the bait.

Reading The Old Man and the Sea, Third day.
After they finished their supper, the boy returned to his home, and the old man went to sleep on his newspapers over the springs on the bed. He woke up later, strolling to the boy's house to wake him up. They had coffee on the terrace before Manolin helped him to move the equipment he needed. The boy left for the other skiff, and he sailed off for the Great Well.

Reading The Old Man and the Sea - 2nd Day
They gathered their stuff from the boat and left for the old man's shack. It was made of the bud-shields of the royal palm. The old man planned to read the paper and sat in the doorway while the boy went for the sardines. After the boy returned, they had dinner(Black beans and rice, fried bananas, and stew) together as they talked about great baseball players and managers.

Reading The Old Man and the Sea,
The old man had gone eighty-four days without taking a fish. There was a boy fishing with him. But after forty days, his father told him not to go fishing with the old man. Said he was salao. After they met on the bank one day, they went drinking on the terrace. The old man talked about their first fishing together, and he would go far out to fish tomorrow.
