1 I'm clear enough in the head, he thought.
2 Then he flew around the old man's head and rested on the line where he was more comfortable.
3 The old man's head was very old though and with his eyes closed there was no life in his face.
4 But as the old man watched, a small tuna rose in the air, turned and dropped head first into the water.
5 He had pushed his straw hat hard down on his head before he hooked the fish and it was cutting his forehead.
6 He put one knee on the fish and cut strips of dark red meat longitudinally from the back of the head to the tail.
7 An airplane passed over head on its course to Miami and he watched its shadow scaring up the schools of flying fish.
8 The old man hit him on the head for kindness and kicked him, his body still shuddering, under the shade of the stern.
9 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.
10 He felt the light delicate pulling and then a harder pull when a sardine's head must have been more difficult to break from the hook.
11 He was bright in the sun and his head and back were dark purple and in the sun the stripes on his sides showed wide and a light lavender.

13 They were strange shoulders, still powerful although very old, and the neck was still strong too and the creases did not show so much when the old man was asleep and his head fallen forward.
14 Each bait hung head down with the shank of the hook inside the bait fish, tied and sewed solid and all the projecting part of the hook, the curve and the point, was covered with fresh sardines.
15 And at daylight when the bettors were asking that it be called a draw and the referee was shaking his head, he had unleashed his effort and forced the hand of the negro down and down until it rested on the wood.
16 Its jaws were working convulsively in quick bites against the hook and it pounded the bottom of the skiff with its long flat body, its tail and its head until he clubbed it across the shining golden head until it shivered and was still.
17 When the old man had gaffed her and clubbed her, holding the rapier bill with its sandpaper edge and clubbing her across the top of her head until her colour turned to a colour almost like the backing of mirrors, and then, with the boy's aid, hoisted her aboard, the male fish had stayed by the side of the boat.
