Even the boy who he loved dearly and had trained well is now forbidden from his parents to work with the old man because of his unlucky condition. Manolin, the young boy however loves Santiago and cares for him. He often brings food and tea for him and they talk about all the things under the sun.
They determined to change his luck by catching a big fish to stop the mouth of those people who consider the old man an unlucky person. The old man sets out on the sea on the 85th day. He goes out into the gulf stream and his bait soon gets taken by a big fish which is known as a "Marlin."

At last, he got the beautiful fish which was the fastest and the greatest fish in the sea. The fish's color was blue and the back was silver it was so handsome and very big. Apart from this, the main moral of this story that I have gotten is that an old man is not made for facing defeats and failures.
A man continued to do whatever he thought and planned by showing the best of his ability. Challenges may try to break the hopes of a man but a man remains undefeated unless he accepts the failure and gives up.
The ending highlights the heroic feat of an old man. The tourist and waiter are only aware of the shark's skeleton's beauty without ever realizing what the old man has gone through.
