No flying fish broke the surface of the sea and there was no scattering (散落) of bait (诱饵) fish in the water. But as the old man watched, a small tuna (金枪鱼) rose in the air, turned and dropped head first into the water. The tuna shone silver in the sun and after he had dropped back into the water, more tuna started jumping out of the water in all directions, chasing after the bait.

When he pulled, he could see the blue back of the fish in the water and its golden sides. Finally, he lifted the fish into the boat. The tuna lay in the boat in the sun. He was small and shaped like a bullet. His big eyes stared when he hit against the floor of the boat with his tail.
