1 I have never seen or heard of such a fish.
2 He heard the tiller break and he lunged at the shark with the splintered butt.
3 He heard the stick break and the line begin to rush out over the gunwale of the skiff.
4 "If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy," he said aloud.
5 He clubbed at heads and heard the jaws chop and the shaking of the skiff as they took hold below.
6 He could not see the fish's jumps but only heard the breaking of the ocean and the heavy splash as he fell.
7 He lived along that coast now every night and in his dreams he heard the surf roar and saw the native boats come riding through it.
8 There were other boats from the other beaches going out to sea and the old man heard the dip and push of their oars even though he could not see them now the moon was below the hills.
9 Now alone, and out of sight of land, he was fast to the biggest fish that he had ever seen and bigger than he had ever heard of, and his left hand was still as tight as the gripped claws of an eagle.
10 In the dark the old man could feel the morning coming and as he rowed he heard the trembling sound as flying fish left the water and the hissing that their stiff set wings made as they soared away in the darkness.
