The old man was asleep when the boy looked in through the door in the morning. The wind was blowing so hard that the boats would not be going out. The boy saw the old man’s hands and he started to cry. He went out very quietly to get some coffee and all the way down the road he was crying.
The boy sat by him until he woke. At one point, it looked as though he was waking, but he fell back into a heavy sleep. Then the boy went across the road to borrow some wood to heat the coffee.
Finally the old man woke.
“Don’t sit up,” the boy said. “Drink this.”
“They beat me, Manolin,” he said. “They truly beat me.”
“He didn’t beat you. Not the fish.”
“No. Truly. It was afterwards.”
“Pedrico is looking after the boat. What do you want done with the fish head?”
“Tell Pedrico the head is his.”
“And the spear (矛)?”
“You keep it if you want it.”
“I want it,” the boy said.
“Did they search for me?”
“Of course. With the Coastguard (海岸警卫队) and planes.”
“The ocean is very big and a boat is small and hard to see,” the old man said. He noticed how pleasant it was to have someone to talk to instead of speaking only to himself and to the sea. “I missed you,” he said.
“Now we fish together again,” the boy said. “You get your hands well, old man.”
“I know how to care for them.”
“Lie down,” the boy said. “And I will bring you something to eat.”
“Bring any of the newspapers of the days that I was gone,” the old man said.
“You must get well fast for there is much that I can learn and you can teach me everything.”
“I suffered a lot,” the old man said.
“I’ll bring the food and the papers,” the boy said. “Rest well, old man. I will bring something from the drugstore (药房) for your hands.”
As the boy went out the door and down the rock road he was crying again.
