1The main character of the story lives in a cabin in a forest. What is special about this forest?
This forest contains the classic elements of an ordinary forest but also marine elements. As if these two worlds were mixed.
2What happens to the boy when he is on his bed?
His lamp goes out and what appears to be an unlit light bulb falls in front of him.
3He sets down his boat and approaches the entrance to a cave. What can we find in this cave
Paradoxically, while we thought we were in a confined space, we find ourselves in an immense space which, first of all, makes us think of the celestial vault. Ultimately, it's more of a marine environment, quite dark.
4What is special about this fish and why does the boy go to see it?
To recharge your bulb in order to repair your lamp.
