Manolin brings food to the house and both eat. They talk about baseball, then the boy leaves.

Santiago falls asleep and dreams of lions in a beach of Africa.

Santiago leaves shore early, and rows over the "great well". He then spots flying fish and birds.

The old man follows near a bird who has spied somethings, in hopes of capturing fish.

Santiago feels a bite on the deeper lines. Due to the depth, he reasons that the fish must be very large. Santiago tries to bring the fish to the surface, but fails.

Expressing his resolve, Santiago says, "Fish,...I'll stay with you until I am dead". He commits himself to kill the fish.

Santiago cuts his hand with the line and starts feeling weak. He decides to eat tuna so he can have enrgy.

Santiago decides to rest and sleep. Again, he dreams about the lions in the African beach.
