Features: The story of "The Old Man and the Sea" is very simple. It tells about an old Cuban fisherman named Santiago, who finally catches a big marlin after eighty-four days without catching any fish. However, the fish is so large that it drags his small boat across the sea for three days until Santiago is exhausted and kills it. He ties the fish to one side of his boat and, during his return journey, is repeatedly attacked by sharks. By the time he finally returns to port, only the head, tail, and a backbone remain.
