他喜欢绿甲和玳瑁海龟，它们姿态优雅，速度快，价值高。他对又大又笨的红海龟抱有一种善意但又轻蔑的态度，他们胆怯地缩在甲壳里，交配时也很奇特，而且还会闭上眼睛兴致勃勃地去吃水母。

虽然他已经在捕龟船捕了很多年的海龟了，但是他对海龟不抱什么神秘的看法。他同情所有的海龟，甚至包括那些跟小船一样长，重达一吨的大棱皮龟。

很多人对于海龟很无情，因为海龟的心脏在海龟被杀死屠宰后还能跳上几个小时。但是老人想着，我也有一颗同样的心脏，而且我的手脚也和他们的很像。

他吃海龟蛋来增强他的力量。他整整吃了五月一整个月以便在九十月能击败真正的大鱼。

他每天从很多渔夫放工具的棚屋里的大桶里喝上一杯鲨鱼肝油。任何渔夫想要的话都可以喝那桶鱼肝油。大多数渔夫讨厌那味道。但喝了总不比抹黑早起让人难受，而且这有助于抵御各种感冒流感，对眼睛也很好。

老人现在抬头看到那只军舰鸟又在盘旋了。“他找到鱼了！”老人大声说着。没有飞鱼打破海平面也没有分散的诱饵鱼。但是老人看到，一直小金枪鱼跳到空中，转身头朝下冲回了水中。

金枪鱼在阳光的照耀下闪烁着银色的光，等他掉回水里，又有一条接一条的金枪鱼跃出水面，朝四面八方跳去，搅得水花四溅。它们紧随小鱼群，一跳就跳出好远，围着小鱼转，驱赶着它们。

要不是它们游得太快，我会逮住它们的，老人心想。他看着鱼群把水搅得水花四溅，那鸟这时也俯冲下来，一头扎进在惊慌中被迫浮上水面的小鱼群中。
