Welcome to my channel, Bookish English 2. Today I want to tell you a story. A story about a man, a very old man. He has no luck. He has no fish. People laugh at him, but he never gives up. This story is simple, but it can change your life. Because sometimes the biggest

battles are inside us. Do you feel like you try but nothing works? Comment below. Do you feel that too? Chapter 1. The man with no fish. The old man lived near the sea. Every morning before the sun was up, he walked to his small wooden boat. His boat was old. His fishing lines were old. His

sail had many holes and was patched with old cloth. Some people laughed and said his boat looks like his face full of lines. But the old man didn't listen. He was quiet. He didn't speak much. He didn't complain. He just walked to the sea. He was not weak. His body was thin but strong. His skin was brown from the

sun. His hands were full of cuts and old scars. Those scars were not from today. They were from many years of catching big fish. He had strength, but no luck. For 84 days, he caught nothing. Not one fish, not even a small one. On some days he saw big fish swimming under his boat,

but they did not take the bait. He waited, he hoped, but he returned home with nothing. The people in his village started to say, "He is finished. He will never catch another fish again." But the old man still believed. He said to himself, "Each day is a new day. The sea can change in one moment. He looked at the

sea like a friend. He called it Lamar in Spanish. The way people talk about a woman they love. The sea was not just water for him. It was his life. It was his battle. It was also his hope. There was one boy. The boy's name was Manoline. He was not the old man's son,
