An old sailor stops a man who is going to a wedding.
He starts to tell him a story.
The man must listen because the sailor’s eyes are very strong and strange.
The sailor and his friends go on a trip by sea.
At first, everything is fine.
Then a big storm pushes the ship into the cold, icy south.
A big white bird, an albatross, appears.
It brings good luck.
The sailors are happy, and the ship gets free from the ice.
Suddenly, the sailor kills the albatross with his crossbow for no reason.
At first, the sailors are angry, then they forgive him.
But soon, nature becomes angry with them.
The wind stops, and the ship cannot move.
The sun is very hot, and there is no water to drink.
One by one, all the sailors die.
The old sailor stays alone, very sad and full of guilt.
After some time, the sailor sees some sea snakes and thinks they are beautiful.
He blesses them with love.
Then the curse ends: he can pray again, and the dead albatross falls from his neck.
Spirits help the ship go back home.
When the ship arrives, a holy man (a hermit) saves the sailor.
Now the sailor must travel from place to place and tell his story to everyone as a punishment.
The moral The sailor teaches this lesson: “If you love all living things, God will love you"
