TOBIAS

The King of the Dolphins

The Colombian legend of an old fisherman whose wish of becoming a young boy again, comes true and he lives beneath the ocean as the Captain of the Dolphins forever. Based on “Tobias, El Capitan de los Delfines” by Miguel Angel Perez

This is the story of an old fisherman who lived in a small village situated on the Colombian coast. Every morning, Tobias goes fishing. His small and old boat is, each time, harder to carry through the ocean. Sometimes he caught a lot of fish, but other times, the dark and strong winds from the North would push him to the rocks and he could not fish anything.

The King of the Ocean and his Creatures

One of those days when the ocean and winds were not on his side, he started to complain to the ocean. The ocean was very mad and all the winds from north and south started to complain back to Tobias. The waves of the ocean were so big that Tobias was in danger. The King of the Ocean appears, surrounded by all ocean creatures and tells Tobias to throw the dice and the one who gets the higher number will be the winner. If Tobias wins, the Ocean will grant his wish. If the King of the Ocean wins, Tobias will die.

The giants dices and the winner is Tobias

Tobias was so frightened to begin the game but was very relieved when his dice showed a higher number. Tobias was the winner!  (6/5 for the Ocean and  6/6 for Tobias.) The Ocean gave him one day to think about his wish.

Tobias Wish and dreams

Little Dragon Flies / Little bathing children / Balloons dream

Tobias could not sleep that night thinking and thinking, what will be the best wish to ask the ocean. He remembers always being a very poor fisherman, and when he was a little boy, he was never like other children. He did not have toys to play with, he never had time for anything, but work, as a fisherman.  Then he remembers one day, as little boy when he was sick with a very high fever; he dreamed he was flying high, high in the sky, holding a lot of colorful balloons over the blue and majestic ocean. The next morning he knew exactly what to ask the Ocean, he wanted to be a little boy again!

The Ocean

Tobias had to prove to the King of the Ocean that he would be a great little boy. He had to tell a wonderful story to all the creatures and fish of the ocean. His story had to be about life on earth. Tobias was so happy about the Ocean’s request because he was a very good story teller. His story was so good that all creatures and fish could not stop clapping and admiring Tobias. The Ocean was so impressed that he decided to give Tobias the title of, “The Capitan of the Dolphins.”  Little Tobias will live beneath the ocean taking care of all the dolphins. The dolphins will be his best friends for ever.

Tobias tells stories about other countries and the life on earth.  The ocean creatures and fishes are fascinated!

The Magical Night Tobias as a little boy living on the ocean with his friends The Dolphins

The Ocean is calmed The water was gold and blue. It was kissed by the moon. The waves had a beautiful sound of music caressing the sand. Very slowly the old and poorly boat of Tobias appears full of red corals and green ocean plants. The moon and stars were illuminating the body of a small child, dead inside the boat. Nobody knew who this little fisherman was. It was the body of Tobias as a little boy on earth, but Tobias was now living in the ocean with all the dolphins as his best friends forever.
