    The gifts of the old man and the old man in the sea to the boy may be a copy of the Road Book, which is called "Nautical Map of the South China Sea" in the article and is regarded as a treasure . What the boy intends to do with the old man is not clearly mentioned in the article.

    The Old Man and the Sea is a novella written by Ernest Hemingway in Cuba in 1951. The story revolves around an elderly Cuban fisherman who fights a giant marlin in the Gulf Stream far offshore. 
 In the article, the old man gave the big fish he had caught to his child, and the child was ready to take the old man and the big fish home. 
 This expresses the deep affection between the old and the child, and their respect for life and nature. At the same time, it reflects Hemingway's consistent themes: the relationship between man and nature, the meaning of life, and human resilience and perseverance.
