In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boys patents had told him that the old man was now bad luck, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry in the fishing lines or take down the old, patched sail.“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they dragged up the boat to the sand. “I could go with you again. Ive made some money.” the old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “No,” the old man said. “Youre with a lucky boat. Stay with them.

He was too simple to wonder when he had attained modesty. But he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride. “Tomorrow is going to be a good day with this wind,” he said. “I will row far out before it is light. There will going to be a good day with this wind,” he said. “I will row far out before it is light. There will be a big fish?” asked the boy. “I think so.
