Paying attention to the new cabin boy, the three waited a while longer, until Taras gave the order to start quickly to recover the net from the ocean, really the force that had to be done could easily leave your hands bleeding.
Fortunately for the other two boys, Taras had given them some gloves and had shown him a technique to make it easier, but for Lucas, everything in life was difficult with one hand.
The net eventually came out of the water and was moved to the deck of the ship where it was opened.
A large number of fish of different sizes, a few crabs of different colors and a very large species of sea turtle fell out of its interior.
"Fine, it's a good mountain of fish, no wonder they catch so little, if they catch so much" Lucas said surprised by the good catch
"No, it's not very normal..." Taras said with some experience on the subject.
"Capas we were lucky and this is a good sea to fish, but even so much variety is rare, in general the fish in this area move in schools and the crabs are even rarer, unless there is not much depth in this area "
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Lucas walked over to the mountain of fish, picked up a red crab the size of his hand, walked over to the rail, and tossed it back into the water.
Taras and Ricardo saw the scene, not understanding why only that crab deserved to return to the water, but they didn't ask either, they were already quite exhausted from the effort of raising the net.
"Well, time to work guys, Lucas go find something to put the fish in"
Lucas, hearing the order, went to look for an empty barrel in the kitchen.
"Ricardo, I'm going to look for a few sailors, so they can help me identify the fish. As the saying goes: 'if you don't know what it is and there's leftover food, you better not eat it.' they are poisonous" Taras explained as he headed to the cabins.
"Just in case, don't touch them with your hand!" Taras yelled at him as he headed down the stairs.
But Ricardo went ahead and out of curiosity he began to dig with a broom in the pile of fish of different colors, luckily he was not so impulsive and followed Taras's advice
The giant tortoise, seeing a stick approaching, bit it, breaking the broom in half.
Seeing this, Ricardo stopped playing and decided to wait for the other sailors, he didn't want to follow Lucas's example and be maimed.
But from a distance, Ricardo was looking at the mountain of fish, the colorful fish leaping through the air was a truly beautiful sight.
It was then, that the young boy noticed something white like jade, on the pile of fish, a fish of that color draws one's attention in an instant, however, he realized that it was not a fish that stood out but a human hand.
"Corpse!!"
"There is a corpse!!" Ricardo shouted that he was alone on the deck, he did not dare to approach since he was still afraid of the turtle.
