OLD MAN AND THE SEA

The Old Man and the Sea is a book by Ernest Hemingway, which is a book that describes

apprentice named Manolin, whose parents took him out of this job because Santiago
couldn't catch a fish. After a long long battle with the Marlin Santiago finally catches
the Marlin, but when he returns a pack of sharks come and eat the flesh of the fish, and
he comes back empty handed.
