The story "The Colomber" by Dino Buzzati tells us about a boy named Stefano, who one day sees a colomber at sea. His father tells him that the colomber will now follow him for the rest of his life, trying to kill him. Stefano then spend his whole life trying to escape from the fish. When he is near death, he decides to confront him, only to discover that the fish wanted to give him a magic pearl, and never intended to harm him. The main external conflict in the story, therefore, is between Stefano and the colomber.
