At the start of the collection, the opening story introduces a young boy who harbors a deep love for the sea, capturing his aspirations and dreams of becoming a sailor. As he navigates the confines of his daily life, his imagination takes him beyond the shores, longing for the adventures that the ocean represents. His departure to sea is met with mixed emotions from his mother, who has faced her own struggles with loss due to the death of her husband at sea. The narrative sets a poignant tone, intertwining the themes of hope and grief as it unfolds. The story hints at future challenges, both for the boy and his family, as they grapple with the realities of life and the unpredictability of the sea. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
