This continued for two days and nights. The old man was in great pain because he had the fishing line round his body. On the third day, the marlin was so tired that the old man managed to pull it to the side of the boat and kill it. He started to sail home pulling the fish in the water behind the boat. He thought about how much money people would pay for his huge fish, but then sharks attacked the boat and tried to eat the marlin.

The old man killed seven sharks, but during the night, more sharks came and ate the marlin. Only its skeleton remained. When he got back home, it was very early morning. The old man was completely exhausted and went to bed. The other fishermen were surprised when they found Santiago's boat with the fish skeleton. They wondered how a man like old. It can be summarized
