then he told the old man everything. now i'm lost because i wanted to see the big ship, he said. when i'm a man, i'll go on a big ship and see the sea and islands and many places. l've never seen the sea.
the old fisherman was smiling.
how did you find me? boon asked.
to-day i want to go fishing a long way from here, the old man answered. so i got up before dawn. when i came here, i found your boat near the bank. you were asleep in it. i knew that you were very tired because when i spoke to you, you did not wake up. i pulled your boat on to the sand and waited for you to wake up. why is there no oar in your boat?
i think that i lost it when i fell asleep, boon replied. what's the name of this place?
this place has no name , the old man answered, i'm the only person who lives here it's a very small island.
an island?
yes. the old fisherman smiled again. you can see all of if later. first, we must eat.
he stood up and went to the fire.
