The bird is a cormorant, and Damin is a fisherman. He is over 65 now but still works every day. He is thin, and of average height, but he is very fit. Although he is an elderly man, he is strong enough to control his raft in the river where he lives and works with his cormorants.4-21234Cormorants are large black birds. They are good at catching fish because they can swim well underwater. Their large feet are used to push them quickly through the water. They can dive down 25 metres, and stay underwater for up to two minutes.4-31234Damin does not require nets or a fishing rod to catch fish. It is done for him by his 12 cormorants. Damin’s fishing trips often begin in the late afternoon. He sets off on his bamboo raft with his birds. When he reaches the right place, he stops. He ties a piece of grass around the neck of each bird, so that it cannot swallow the fish. Then he pushes the birds into the water, and jumps up and down and bangs the water with his pole. The fish are frightened by this. At night a light is hung from the front of the raft. This enables Damin to see better, and also attracts the fish. The cormorants swim down and catch the fish, and bring them back to the raft. The fish are then removed from the birds’ mouths by Damin and thrown into a big basket. Latersome of the fish are sold, and the rest are dividedbetween Damin’s family and the cormorants.4-41234Cormorant fishing is a traditional Chinese skill, probably more than a thousand years old. Damin enjoys his work, and he is teaching his grandson everything he knows. However, few young people are interested in doing this type of work in the modern world. In 50 years, perhaps there will be no morecormorant fishermen in theworld.Vocabulary4-112 Find these words and phrases in the article.
