1 It is a big school of dolphin, he thought.
2 But, he thought, I keep them with precision.
3 That school has gotten away from me, he thought.
4 Now is no time to think of baseball, he thought.
5 The moon affects her as it does a woman, he thought.
6 All my life the early sun has hurt my eyes, he thought.
7 There might be a big one around that school, he thought.
8 This far out, he must be huge in this month, he thought.
9 I worked the deep wells for a week and did nothing, he thought.
10 I must have water here for him, the boy thought, and soap and a good towel.
11 But the old man thought, I have such a heart too and my feet and hands are like theirs.
12 I could just drift, he thought, and sleep and put a bight of line around my toe to wake me.
13 Others let them drift with the current and sometimes they were at sixty fathoms when the fishermen thought they were at a hundred.
14 But the old man always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favours, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them.
15 If they don't travel too fast I will get into them, the old man thought, and he watched the school working the water white and the bird now dropping and dipping into the bait fish that were forced to the surface in their panic.
16 He was sorry for the birds, especially the small delicate dark terns that were always flying and looking and almost never finding, and he thought, "The birds have a harder life than we do except for the robber birds and the heavy strong ones."
17 No one would steal from the old man but it was better to take the sail and the heavy lines home as the dew was bad for them and, though he was quite sure no local people would steal from him, the old man thought that a gaff and a harpoon were needless temptations to leave in a boat.
