An old man named Santiago has gone 84 days without catching a fish . During the first 40 days of his unlucky streak . he fished with a young boy named Manolin . who had been with the old man ever since he was five years old .duo to Santiago‘s bad luck . however , Manolin’s parents told their son not to fish with the old man . they forced him to join up with a more lucrative boat , which ended up catching three good_sized fish in its first week .
Santiago is a well_worn man . his face and body show the signs of aging , but inside he is young and alive : “ everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were heerful and unddefeated .
After making a comfortable amount of money on the new fiching boat , Manolin tells Santiago that he wants to fish with him again . He feels bad because he never wanted to leave Santiago , his mentor , but had to honor his duty to his parents tp earn some money . Santiago knows that the boy is loyal to him and never becomes upset by his decision to leave .
Manolin takes good care of Santiago , He makes sure the old man eats and remains in good health .
He tries to give the old man positive encouragement and makes sure his ego is never wounded . Other local fichermen either make fun of or pity Santiago .
Santiago tells the boy that he will go out into the gulf in his Skiff because the current will be strong .
Superstitious about numbers , Santiago also believes the 85th day will bring him good luck .

Manolin puts Santiago to sleep, Santiago has the same dream he has every night . In his dreams , he drifts off to Africa where he spent some time as a child .Santiago’s dreams used to be more exciting .
However :“ he no longer dreamed of storms , nor of women nor of great occurrences , nor of great fish , nor fights , nor contests of strength , nor of his wife . he only dreamed of places now and of the lions on the beach . they played like young cats in the dusk and he loved them as he loved the boy .
after waking up , Santiago feels confident about his fiching joumey . Manolin sees Santiago off into the Gulf .
