1. EVERY DAY IS A NEW DA. IT IS BETTER TO BE LUCKY.

BUT I WOULD RATHER BE EXACT. THEN, WHEN LUCK

COMES YOU ARE READY…

2. BUT MAN IS NOT MADE FOR DEFEAT. A MAN CAN BE

DESTROYED, BUT NOT DEFEATED.

3. NOW IS NO TIME TO THINK OF WHAT YOU DON NOT

HAVE. THINK OF WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THAT THERE
IS…

4. WHY DO OLD MEN WAKE SO EARLY? IS IT TO HAVE A

LONGER DAY?

5. IT’S SILLY NOT TO HOPE. IT’S A SIN…

6. I MAY NOT BE AS STRONG AS I THINK, BUT I KNOW

MANY TRICKS AND I HAVE RESOLUTION…

7. MOST PEOPLE WERE HEARTLESS ABOUT TURTLES

BECAUSE A TURTLE’S HEART WILL BEAT FOR HOURS
AFTER IT HAS BEEN CUP UP AND BUTCHERED. BUT THE
OLD MAN THOUGHT, I HAVE SUCH A HEART TOO…

8. IF THE OTHERS HEARD ME TALKING OUT LOUD THEY

WOULD THINK THAT I AM CRAZY. BUT SINCE I AM NOT, I
DO NOT CARE.

9. “FISH”, HE SAID SOFTLY, ALOUD, “I’LL STAY WITH YOU

UNTIL I’M DEAD.”

10. LUCK IS A THING THAT COMES IN MANY FORMS AND

WHO CAN RECOGNIZE HER?
11. “NO ONE SHOULD BE ALONE IN THEIR OLD AGE”, HE
THOUGHT

12. “FISH”, HE SAID, “I LOVE YOU AND RESPECT YOU VERY

MUCH. BUT I WILL KILL YOU DEAD BEFORE THIS DAY
ENDS”

13. WHY DID THEY MAKE BIRDS SO DELICATE AND FINE

AS THOSE SEA SWALLOWS WHEN THE OCEAN CAN BE SO
CRUEL?
14. MY BIG FISH MUST BE SOMEWHERE…

15. PERHAPS I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A FISHERMAN, HE

THOUGHT. BUT THAT WAS THE THING THAT I WAS BORN
FOR…

16. DO NOT THING ABOUT SIN, HE THOUGHT. THERE ARE

ENOUGH PROBLEMS NOW WITHOUT SIN. AND ALSO I
HAVE NO UNDERSANDING FOR IT…

17. THE FISH IS MAY FRIEND TOO…BUT I MUST KILL HIM.

18. I AM GLAD THAT WE MUSTN’T KILL THE STARS, THE

MOON OR THE SUN. WE WERE BORN LUCKY…

19. “TAKE A GOOD REST, SMALL BIRD”, HE SAID. THEN GO

AND TAKE YOUR CHANCE LIKE ANY MAN OR BIRD OR
FISH…

20. ONLY I HAVE NO LUCK ANYMORE. BUT WHO KNOWS?

MAYBE TODAY. EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY….

21. FISH, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE ANYWAY. DO YOU HAVE

TO KILL ME TOO?
22. PAIN DOES NOT MATTER TO A MAN…

23. HE IS A GREAT FISH AND I MUST CONVINCE HIM, HE

THOUGHT. I MUST NEVER LET HIM KNOW HIS
STRENGHT…

24. I SHOULDN’T HAVE GONE OUT SO FAR, FISH”, HE SAID.

NEITHER FOR YOU NOR FOR ME. I’M SORRY FISH…

25. “THANK YOU”, THE OLD MAN SAID. HE WAS TOO

SIMPLE TO WONDER WHEN HE HAD ATTAINED HUMILITY.
BUT HE KNEW HE HAD ATTAINED IT AND HE KNEW IT
WAS NOT DISGRACEFUL AND IT CARRIED NO LOSS OF
TRUE PRIDE.

26. THEN HE WAS SORRY FOR THE GREAT FISH…HOW

MANY PEOPLE WILL HE FEED? BUT ARE THEY WORTHY TO
EAT HIM? NO, OF COURSE, NOT. THERE IS NO ONE
WORTHY OF EATING HIM THE MANNER OF HIS
BEHAVIOUR AND HIS GREAT DIGNITY.

27. HE LOOKED ACROSS THE SEA AND KNEW HOW ALONE

HE WAS NOW…

28. “THEN HE BEGAN TO PITY THE GREAT FISH THAT HE

HAD HOOKED. HE IS WONDERFUL AND STRANGE AND
WHO KNOWS HOW OLD HE IS”, HE THOUGHT…

29. “I WONDER WHY HE JUMPED”, THE OLD MAN

THOUGHT. HE ALMOST JUMPED TO SHOW ME HOW BIG HE
WAS. I KNOW KNOW, ANYWAY, HE THOUGHT. “I WISH I
COULD SHOW HIM WHAT SORT OF A MAN I AM”

30. “I WILL KILL HIM THOUGH”, HE SAID. “IN ALL HIS

GREATNESS AND ALL HIS GLORY”…

31. “QUE VA”, THE BOY SAID. “THERE ARE MANY GOOD
FISHERMEN AND SOME GREAT ONES. BUT THERE IS ONLY
YOU”
