1 He had pushed his straw hat hard down on his head before he hooked the fish and it was cutting his forehead.
2 They were nearly as long as the fingers of the old man and they had razor-sharp cutting edges on both sides.
3 The dolphin were cutting through the water below the flight of the fish and would be in the water, driving at speed, when the fish dropped.
4 Finally his left hand found the line and he leaned back against the line and now it burned his back and his left hand, and his left hand was taking all the strain and cutting badly.
5 He took hold of the line carefully so that it did not fit into any of the fresh line cuts and shifted his weight so that he could put his left hand into the sea on the other side of the skiff.
6 When the fish was at the stern, plunging and cutting from side to side in desperation, the old man leaned over the stern and lifted the burnished gold fish with its purple spots over the stern.
7 The speed of the line was cutting his hands badly but he had always known this would happen and he tried to keep the cutting across the calloused parts and not let the line slip into the palm nor cut the fingers.
