The old man

Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived in Africa. He is fisher man, but he has never caught a big fish. So he is sad all the time, doesn't want to do anything. But he has a friend who is a little boy. He is always worried about this old man. They always go out together to fish in the sea, but now the father of the little boy doesn't want him to go out with the old man because the old man is unlucky all the time and now the little boy has a lucky boat which can make a lot of money.

The old man wanted to try again, he would like to catch a big fish. And then he goes out to do it, he brings his small boat and goes far on the sea, he waits for a big fish for a long time, but suddenly a line gets something, the old man is excited, he tries to calm down and bring that fish on the boat. It is so difficult, that is very hard to bring it into the boat. And then the harpoon breaks, a big fish can go away. The old man is so sad, Unlucky for him.

    Check the following:

    he brings his small boat go away is so far on the sea = he brings his small boat and goes far on the sea
    a line get something = GETS
    ring that get on the boat = ring that fish on the boat
