1 The village water supply was two streets down the road.
2 "He is two feet longer than the skiff," the old man said.
3 He ate the other part of the piece that he had cut in two.
4 There are three things that are brothers: the fish and my two hands.
5 There are two more hours before the sun sets and maybe he will come up before that.
6 The sun was two hours higher now and it did not hurt his eyes so much to look into the east.
7 During the night two porpoise came around the boat and he could hear them rolling and blowing.
8 The two sets of knives and forks and spoons were in his pocket with a paper napkin wrapped around each set.
9 There were two from each bait he had severed and the two from the bait the fish had taken and they were all connected.
10 It was the weight of the fish and he let the line slip down, down, down, unrolling off the first of the two reserve coils.
11 He had seen many that weighed more than a thousand pounds and he had caught two of that size in his life, but never alone.
12 You have only yourself and you had better work back to the last line now, in the dark or not in the dark, and cut it away and hook up the two reserve coils.
13 He let the line slip through his fingers while he reached down with his left hand and made fast the free end of the two reserve coils to the loop of the two reserve coils of the next line.
14 The boy was back now with the sardines and the two baits wrapped in a newspaper and they went down the trail to the skiff, feeling the pebbled sand under their feet, and lifted the skiff and slid her into the water.
15 The successful fishermen of that day were already in and had butchered their marlin out and carried them laid full length across two planks, with two men staggering at the end of each plank, to the fish house where they waited for the ice truck to carry them to the market in Havana.
16 The boy had given him two fresh small tunas, or albacores, which hung on the two deepest lines like plummets and, on the others, he had a big blue runner and a yellow jack that had been used before; but they were in good condition still and had the excellent sardines to give them scent and attractiveness.
17 Each line, as thick around as a big pencil, was looped onto a green-sapped stick so that any pull or touch on the bait would make the stick dip and each line had two forty-fathom coils which could be made fast to the other spare coils so that, if it were necessary, a fish could take out over three hundred fathoms of line.
