Manolin: Good afternoon, Papa! Santiago: Good afternoon, my boy! Manolin: I'm happy to see you and your boat. Are you OK? Santiago: Yes, I'm just here. But I still can't get a fish. In fact, the old man has gone 84 days without (没有) catching a fish. Manolin feels sad for that. Manolin: That's OK! You are always a great fisherman! You are good at fishing. So you will get a big one very soon. Santiago: Sure! I can make it! Manolin: I want to go fishing with you tomorrow, Papa. Santiago: Good idea! But your parents don't think so.
