　　He was an old man who fished alone in a boat in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty－four days now without taking a fish．In the first forty days a boy had been with him．But after forty days without a fist the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week．It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff(鱼钩)and harpoon(鱼叉)and the sail that was furled around the mast(桅杆)．The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat．

　　The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck．The brown blotches(斑点)of the skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks．The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep－creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords．But none of these scars were fresh．They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert．

　　Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated．

　　“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from where the skiff was pulled up．“I could go with you again．We’ve made some money．”

　　The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him．

　　“No,” the old man said．“You’re with a lucky boat．Stay with them．”

　　“But remember how you went eighty－seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks．”

　　“I remember,” the old man said．“I know you did not leave me because you doubted．”

　　“It was papa who made me leave．I am a boy and I must obey him．”

　　“I know,” the old man said．“It is quite normal．”

　　“He hasn't much faith．”

　　“No,” the old man said．“But we have．Haven't we?”

　　“Yes,” the boy said．“Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace and then we'll take the stuff home．”

　　“Why not?” the old man said．“Between fishermen．”

　　Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it．I mean the teenager problem．Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal．

　　I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways．One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman．I saw him last week when I called round．Sprawling himself(懒散地躺)on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me．His mother was ashamed．“I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said．“He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him．”

　　He hasn’t forgotten them．He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them．She confessed(承认)that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor．

　　Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say,”I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly．” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school．The other has left home．

　”Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad．Probably nowhere much．At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents．
