Question

Soham visited Sundarban on a short trip during winter break with his parents. He saw that

boys of his age were playing football near the bank of the river. A few old fisher men

were sitting in sun to dry their fishing net. Fisher men in their small country boats were

catching fish and the boats were driven by hand pedal. Q)Have any work done by the fisher men while the boats were sailing?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: Santiago, an old fisherman, has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish. For the first forty days, a boy named Manolin had fished with him, but Manolin’s parents, who call Santiago salao, or “the worst form of unlucky,” forced Manolin to leave him in order to work in a more prosperous boat. The old man is wrinkled, splotched, and scarred from handling heavy fish on cords, but his eyes, which are the color of the sea, remain “cheerful and undefeated.”
