The Rime of the Ancient Mariner:

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Written by
Coleridge

An Ancient Mariner, old and skinny, stopped a wedding
guest who was on his way to a wedding reception. This young boy may have tried
to resist the Ancient Mariner, who compelled him to sit and listen to his
adventure.

One day when he was younger, the Ancient Mariner
decided to go sailing with his crew composed of two hundreds sailors from his
native land. Suddently, the boat remained blocked in the ice. All the crew was
desolated until an albatross appeared out of the mist. No sooner had this huge
bird appeared than the ice broke and they were able to steer it through.
However, one day, all the sudden, the Ancient Mariner shot him with an arrow.
At the same time, the ship was stagnant on the ocean. The other sailors blamed
the Ancient Mariner for his doing and to punish him, hung the albatross around
the Ancient Mariner ‘s neck. Days after days, his crew died on the deck but
miraculously refused to rot. While he was looking at the sea, he noticed some wonderful
sea creatures. He finally began to pray and was saved.
