I have been away but I am back!!
And spell-checking once in a while.

I think of the animals in folk-tales; they are generally there as the ‘companion animal’ that accompanies the hero.

When I was reading The Old Man and the Sea’ I found it to be a classic -— and beautiful-— hero tale. I was wondering where the companion animals was.

Clearly the marlin was a noble victim, and the sharks were enemies.

Then I remembered the old man dreaming of the lions on the beach in Africa. Those were the ‘companion animals’.
