\nHaven\u2019t caught a fish in\u2026 what, 84 days?
\nI am young, strong, sturdy. You don\u2019t deserve me.
\nI will climb a boat that smells of morning fish.
\nYou pull a line to break it. You\u2019re useless, old man.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nI become salao<\/em> and that big fat marlin
\nprances around my boat and that big fat
\nmarlin prances around my boat until my
\nleft hand gives in until my left hand\u2026<\/p>\n
\nmade me cry. I promise you that we will
\nfish together until either of us dies. I need you,
\nold man. I\u2019m practicing self-actualization.<\/p>\n
\nof the old man and the sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
