In order to escape the animal, he moves inland. Later in his life , he becomes a talented sailor. Eventually, when the man is old, he decides to face the colomber. When he does, he realizes the colomber never intended to kill him. Instead, he wanted to give him a pearl that gives good luck to whoever possesses it.
