Quotes from the book
Loneliness
When dad goes to the sea to make discoveries, I run every morning. Quickly like a spring tide. From our lighthouse to the half -frozen coast of Fjord. The chance that dad"s submarine suddenly comes up above the water, rises every day. Therefore, I become faster. At the bay I get up on tiptoe and peer into the sea. I stretch as high as possible. And therefore growing. Usually I see nothing new. I whisper in the sea shell: "Well, where are you?" The shell flies into the water, and I wander home. I feel so sad. This sadness stretches and stretches and weighs more and more. Therefore, I become harder
Meridians
I never really understood who or what was drawn on a trip. And now I realized. These are the same lines on the globe. They stretch like long ribbons, from north to south and from east to west. And one such ribbon stretches through the entire ocean, on the ground and through the air. From me to my whale. I always felt it, but I just did not know how to describe. 2 Sometimes a whale pulls at its end of the tape. Sometimes I pull for mine. From this, the water between us worries.
When there is a friend
When you have a friend, the days run faster. In winter, in the Far North, it is only a few hours light. As before, at this time I run ashore, catch the fish and send dad letters by shell. And at night I now talk to my whale with the help of a pipe shell. So even the darkest hours fly quietly.
Blue-blue ocean
I looked at the water and at the sky. So much blue. So many shells. There are so many amazing discoveries that my dad can make, so many things that he can measure and weigh. This giant whale will easily swim thousands of kilometers, from the ocean to the ocean. Suddenly, dad will meet him all the same?
Miracle is closer than it seems
I almost forgot to ask: - Tell me soon! What kind of opening did you do this time? Papino"s face was so close. I felt how the ice smells, and the fire, and the snow at the pope on the beard. The dad smelled of a house! He rubbed his nose on my nose and whispered in my ear: - What is the biggest miracle is actually so small, and it was closer than it always seemed to me.
I see with my eyes closed
Every night in the complete darkness around me, octopuses-designs, fish, sea skates and snakes swam. And the electric eel beat off the alphabet of the ABC Morse: the long - short - long, short - long - short. I imagined that I was a five -handed sea star. And dad is an octopus, and he has at least ten hands to hug me and never let go.
