Current Search - dolphin in The Old Man and the Sea
1 Tomorrow I will eat the dolphin.
2 Now go back and prepare the dolphin.
3 It is a big school of dolphin, he thought.
4 I was lucky to get him instead of dolphin.
5 I don't think I can get anything but a dolphin here.
6 "What an excellent fish dolphin is to eat cooked," he said.
7 It would be better to gut the dolphin a little later to save the blood in the meat, he thought.
8 No matter what passes I must gut the dolphin so he does not spoil and eat some of him to be strong.
9 The old man could see the slight bulge in the water that the big dolphin raised as they followed the escaping fish.
10 The stars were bright now and he saw the dolphin clearly and he pushed the blade of his knife into his head and drew him.
11 The dolphin look greener from there and you can see their stripes and their purple spots and you can see all of the school as they swim.
12 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.
13 "With so much flying fish there should be dolphin," he said, and leaned back on the line to see if it was possible to gain any on his fish.
14 The dolphin was cold and a leprous gray-white now in the starlight and the old man skinned one side of him while he held his right foot on the fish's head.
15 Under the stars and with the night colder all the time he ate half of one of the dolphin fillets and one of the flying fish, gutted and with its head cut off.
16 Just before it was dark, as they passed a great island of Sargasso weed that heaved and swung in the light sea as though the ocean were making love with something under a yellow blanket, his small line was taken by a dolphin.
17 It jumped again and again in the acrobatics of its fear and he worked his way back to the stern and crouching and holding the big line with his right hand and arm, he pulled the dolphin in with his left hand, stepping on the gained line each time with his bare left foot.
