　　Santiago, an old, Cuban fisherman has just gone 84 days without catching a fish. Santiago believes one day he will begin to catch fish again and that he is just going through an unlucky time.

　　Santiago has an apprentice called Manolin. Manolin adores the old man but his parents tell him he must stop fishing with Santiago because he is not catching any fish. The boy takes the old man food and something else to help him to keep fishing.

　　On the 85th day that Santiago takes his skiff (boat) out much farther into the sea than usual. At noon, a big fish the old man called Marlin weighted about 1500 pounds takes the bait. The old man expertly hooks the fish, but cannot pull it in. Instead, the fish begins to pull the boat. The old man, Santiago is unable to simply tie the line fast to the boat because the fish might break the line.

　　Two days and two nights had passed. On the third day, the fish begins to circle the skiff, and the old man uses all the strength he had left to kill the big fish. He did it.

　　But that doesn’t mean the lucky comes back.

　　Sharks were attracted by the trail of blood left by the marlin in the water ,although he tried his best to struggle with sharks, the sharks ate entire fish and left only the skeleton of the fish, its head, and its tail.

　　Santiago tells himself for going out to far into the ocean. He gets back to his home and collapses on his bed. Totally exhausted. The next morning, a crowd of amazed fisherman gather around the skeletal carcass of the fish, still lashed to the boat. Manolin, who has been worried sick at the old man's absence, is moved to tears to find Santiago safe in his bed.

　　Santiago dreams of his youth—of lions on an African beach.
