Santiago was discouraged because he did not catch a fish in 84 days. It seemed like his luck was running out

On the 85th day he sets out to sea

For the first time in a long time he recognized that there were birds flying overhead which meant meant that there were fish in the sea nearby for him to catch

He felt a fish catch his bait but the weight of his fishing line kept increasing an he kept tightening the pressure of his thumb and finger and waited for the right moment to pull it in but the fish moved slowly moved away and the old man could not catch it. At that moment he wished he had the boy

The old man realizes he cuts his hand on the fishing line

The fish jumped and the old man saw that it was a dolphin and even though he was not religious, he prayed 10 our father and 10 hail Marys so that he could catch his fish

He caught the dolphin and ate it later on

The old man unhooked the fish, re-baited the line and tossed it over

He managed to hook another fish, and he could not believe it's size when he saw it

He manages to catch a fish but a mako comes to attack it then Santiago manages to attack and kill the mako with his harpoon

Another shark comes along and eats from the fish. Santiago kills it with his knife but the knife breaks

The old man sailed into the harbour and the boy took care of him
