1 "I remember," the old man said.
2 "It is strange," the old man said.
3 "Keep warm old man," the boy said.
4 "You bought me a beer," the old man said.
5 "Eighty-five is a lucky number," the old man said.
6 But the old man brought it out from under the bed.
7 "The month when the great fish come," the old man said.
8 The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him.
9 The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, confident loving eyes.
10 The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck.
11 They walked up the road together to the old man's shack and went in through its open door.
12 They sat on the Terrace and many of the fishermen made fun of the old man and he was not angry.
13 The old man leaned the mast with its wrapped sail against the wall and the boy put the box and the other gear beside it.
14 He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.
15 The old man carried the mast on his shoulder and the boy carried the wooden box with the coiled, hard-braided brown lines, the gaff and the harpoon with its shaft.
16 It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff and harpoon and the sail that was furled around the mast.
17 No one would steal from the old man but it was better to take the sail and the heavy lines home as the dew was bad for them and, though he was quite sure no local people would steal from him, the old man thought that a gaff and a harpoon were needless temptations to leave in a boat.
