Once there was an old fisherman named Santiago. He lived alone by the sea, the only companions he had were his boat and his fishing rod(鱼竿). Santiago had a dream—to catch a big fish called marlin. 1 Days went by, and Santiago faced many difficulties—strong winds, big waves, even hunger and thirst. But he never forgot his goal. Finally, one day, his patience paid off. He felt a strong pull on his fishing line, and he caught a huge marlin! 2 As the battle continued, Santiago got very tired. 3 He knew that if he let it go, he would lose not only the fish but also his dream.
Unfortunately, some sharks smelled the fish's blood and attacked it. Santiago tried his best to protect it, but the sharks were too strong and too many. 4 Even though he didn't bring home a whole fish, Santiago was proud of himself. 5
