direction of the whirlpool ...
The boat entered the whirlpool, and they were going round in circles at a great speed. The storyteller made three important observations about how objects fell in the whirlpool.
Then：
The storyteller tied himself to a barrel and jumped into the sea. He was carried away by the waves and was eventually rescued by other fishermen.
Finally：
Group Work Think and share.
1. What were the three observations the storyteller made
2. Why did the storyteller survive while his elder brother didn't
3. What does the storyteller mean by "it took only six hours to break my body and soul"
The three observations were: the large objects fell into the whirlpool quicker; and the round objects and tube-shaped objects did not go into the whirlpool as quickly.
The fisherman survived because he was calm in the whirlpool and made clear observations. Based on the observations, he saved himself by tying himself to a barrel to help him float and jumped into the sea.
The Moskoe-strom lasted six hours. This broke his body as the storm battered him about. It broke his soul as he lost two brothers in that time.The terror of the maelstrom has had a very negative effect on his mind and body, which he doesn't think they will ever recover from.

The story shows the following relationships between humans and nature:
