chapter 1 family I was born in England in 1632 my father was German and my mother was English I had two brothers and one sister we were a good family my father was a good businessman we had a lot of money I had good education I had a good life but I also had a dream I wanted to travel by sea I wanted to see the world my father was a good man he wanted the best for me but my dream wasn't his dream he wasn't happy the situation wasn't easy I was 18 years old

when my father called me to his room he wanted to speak with me when I came to his room my father asked me some question questions my father wanted to know why I wanted to travel by sea then my father told me traveling by sea is dangerous it isn't comfortable you can die my father started to cry I thought about my father's words traveling by sea was dangerous it wasn't comfortable I could die but it was also very exciting I could see new countries I could meet new people I thought about traveling by sea every

day it was difficult to be at home I tried to speak with my mother I told her I would like to travel by sea very much I want to see the world I told her please help me speak with my father maybe with your help I could travel by sea my mother loved me very much but she thought the same as my father she thought that traveling by sea was dangerous she thought that the best was to stay at home she thought that life in England was the best for me one year later I visited

Hull a town in England it was the 1st of September it was the year 1651 I met my friend his father had a ship they traveled by sea very often their next Journey was to London my friend told me go with us I thought about it I wasn't prepared for this journey but I could try if traveling by sea was for me so I went to London I was very happy it was my first journey by sea it was very exciting the first hour was great but then we started to have problems we saw a

storm it was closer and closer the wind was stronger and stronger the waves were bigger and bigger the ship went up and down I had fear I thought about my home I thought about my comfortable bed the storm was finished in the morning the weather was nice the whole day and the evening was beautiful everything was so quiet one man came to me we talked he made some jokes they were funny he asked me about the weather I told him about my fear during the storm what storm he said the little wind he laughed he

offered me a drink I drank a lot soon I was drunk I slept very well at night the next day I forgot about my home I forgot about my comfortable bed I started to dream more about traveling by sea the next 3 days the wind wasn't good we went very slowly then the wind was Stronger we went faster the next day another storm came the storm was bigger I was really scared I saw that the other men were scared too chapter 2 storm I was so scared that I could only lie in my bed when

I looked outside the window I saw the waves they were very big they were like mountains I saw other ships they were like toys the waves played with the ships I wanted to go home again the storm was really big everybody asked God for help then somebody saw a hole in the ship a lot of water was inside it was a terrible situation many men went down they pumped the water out I was so scared I couldn't move but then one man came to me he told me go down and help so I went down

we pumped the water out then I heard a gun it was a signal from our captain it was a signal that we had a big problem I thought that we had no chance our ship was very broken I thought that it was our last day we worked very hard we tried to pump out the water but the hole was was very big more and more water was inside the ship the weather was better but the ship was full of water we needed help we saw another ship in front of us they sent a small boat

for us the men on the boat risked their lives for us we all went on the boat it wasn't possible to go back to their ship it was already very far 15 minutes later our big ship went underwater we were safe on the small boat but I was still very scared we saw a Land We tried to go to it we were closer and closer soon we saw people on the beach they were from a near Village they waited for us they were really nice to us they help helped us they gave us some money

we could go to London or Hull I went to London I traveled to London by land when I was in London I met a captain he was very kind he offered me to travel with him the captain wanted to go to Africa I thought that I could make some money there the captain told me about the business in Africa he told me what to buy in England he told me what people in Africa needed I bought things which were popular in Africa they were cheap in England but they were expensive in Africa they were expensive

because nobody made them in Africa but people needed them there then we started the journey the journey to Africa was successful I returned to England with some money I was happy I wanted to travel more I wanted to do more business I also wanted to learn how to control the ship the captain taught me the basic skills I decided to go to AE again the journey started well but soon we had big problems a ship started to follow us it was a pirate ship it started in the morning in the afternoon the Pirates came very

close to us they attacked us they tried to connect our ships we pushed them away then they attacked us again this time they were successful many men came on our ship during the second attack they started to break everything some of our men were killed some men were injured we couldn't win we stopped the fight we all became prisoners of the Pirates chapter 3 woman I was young and strong I became a slave to the captain of the Pirates I felt very sad slaves had a horrible life they had to work hard I worked every

day for many hours I worked in the house or in the garden the captain told me what to do I didn't like the work I wanted to change my situation I wanted to be free again one day I met a young woman in the house she was so beautiful she was also a slave she cleaned the house I tried to speak to her she didn't speak my language but I felt that she understood me I liked her very much she was very attractive when she saw me she smiled at me sometimes she touched me when

she was close to me but it was only a short moment if the captain saw it he could send her away I thought about her very often I wanted to meet her every day but she wasn't in the house every day when I I thought about her I felt a nice feeling in my heart I thought that I loved that woman I felt that she was my girlfriend and I was her boyfriend but our relationship was complicated we couldn't be officially together slaves couldn't have relationships it was so sad the captain sometimes took me with

him when he wanted to catch some fish a young boy and I helped him fish we used a small boat sometimes we fished with somebody from his friends one day fog was around our boat we saw nothing we were lost we tried to get to land the whole day and night we got to land the next morning when we were back home the captain told us to use a bigger boat the bigger boat was better for longer Journeys one day the captain gave me instructions put more food and drinks on the boat bring some guns

too he waited for important guests he wanted to catch fish with the guests they also wanted to hunt animals after the fishing but the guests never came then the captain told me prepare the boat for fishing for the next day this was my opportunity to run away a lot of guns and food were on the boat I prepared the boat for fishing as usual but I left the guns and food on the boat the next day I could run away this was my plan I thought about the young woman woman I wanted to take her

with me but I didn't know how to do it it wasn't possible to take her on the boat I was sad I didn't know what to do I wanted to be free but my heart wanted to be with her then the morning came I hoped that I could see the young woman in the house then I saw her her she was the most beautiful woman in my life when I looked at her our eyes met she knew that something was different maybe she understood that this was our last moment together she looked deeply in my

eyes she touched my hand I felt that she understood her face was sad my face was sad had too she smiled at me a little then she went away this was the last moment when I saw her 1 hour later we were ready I and the boy went to the boat one of the captain's friends went with us he was our boss for that day chapter 4 lion soon we were far from the land I pretended that I couldn't catch fish then we went further from the land our boss said that we could catch fish

there at one moment our boss went to the front of the boat I quickly pushed him into the sea he tried to swim back I took a gun when he saw the gun he swam away after he swam away I turned to the boy I wanted to know if he was on my side I saw that he was on my side after 2 years I was finally free we tried to go as fast as possible the wind was good we were far from the Pirate Land the next day but I was still scared of the

Pirates I didn't want to be caught again I was so scared that I didn't let the boy stop the boat for 5 days on the sixth day I felt safer we took the boat close to the land we saw a little river I didn't know where we were we had to stop somewhere because we needed fresh water we waited for the dark we wanted to go up the river where the water wasn't mixed with the sea water but we St started to hear horrible noises the boy didn't want to continue he was scared we stayed

on the boat near the river but we couldn't sleep some animals came to wash in the water they made horrible noises the boy was very scared I was also scared we heard that one animal started to swim to us the boy asked me to go away but I didn't want to go I took one gun I shot at the animal the animal turned then the animal swam to the land the other animals heard the gun they went away too we stayed on the boat until the morning we ate bread in the morning then the boy

said I would like to go to the beach I decided to go with him we had two big bottles for water we took some fresh water from the river the boy wanted to go inside the land I didn't want to go very far I still wanted to see the boat so I stayed on the beach the boy went inside the land alone he returned after some time he had an animal in his hand it looked like a chicken he was very happy I was happy too we had good meat and fresh water I didn't know

where exactly we were I only knew that we went around the coast of Africa I hoped that we met an English ship when we went around the coast I thought that we were in a land where nobody lived we didn't see any people on the land we only heard wild animals sometimes one morning when we went for fresh water water we saw a lion on the beach he was very big he was only 20 M from us the boy was scared when the lion saw us he started to run to us we didn't have much

time I had to shoot at him I had three guns the first bullet hit its leg the second bullet hit its head he was seriously injured the Third third bullet finished the animal we couldn't eat the meat because it wasn't good but I wanted to take the skin we put the skin on top of the boat the skin was dry soon chapter 5 ship for the next 10 days we continued our journey around the coast we only stopped when we needed fresh water soon we saw that people lived on the land one day we saw

a big group of people they had a lot of children they watched us from the beach I wanted to stop I wanted to go to the people but the boy didn't like this idea he was scared the people on the beach wanted to give us some food two men ran to the forest they returned with some dry meat we didn't want to go to the beach but they didn't want to swim to us we didn't know how to get the food the people saw this they put the food on the ground then they went back

when they were far from the food we took the food then we weren't scared of the people they came to us we thanked them but we had nothing for them at that moment we saw two animal animals they came from the forest the animals started to run to the people the people were scared one animal attacked a young girl I shot at the animal I killed the animal the second animal was scared it ran away the people were shocked when they heard the gun they were also shocked when they saw that the animal was dead

they were happy that the girl was alive they thanked us they brought us more food and water we had a lot of food and water on the boat we didn't stop for 10 days we saw some islands the next day I thought that we could visit the islands but at that moment the boy started to shout he started to shout because he saw a ship the boy was really scared he thought that it was was a pirate ship but I looked at the ship I saw that it was Portuguese but nobody on the ship saw

us so I fired a gun they heard the gun they saw us soon we were on the Portuguese ship they spoke Portuguese Spanish and French but I didn't understand them fortunately there was a Scottish sailor on the ship he came to me I told him our story then the sailors started to be very nice to us they agreed to take me and the boy on the ship we were both very happy we offered our things to the captain but he didn't want to take our things he said I would like to pay for them it

was very nice of him I told him that he could buy our boat I gave him a good price it was a half of usual price he could take the rest for free the captain agreed the captain also wanted to train the boy as a sailor I didn't like this idea I thought that he was too young for this job I thought that the boy also needed Freedom he didn't need to start another service chapter 6 wife the boy wanted to work for the captain he wanted to be a sailor so he started his training

to become a sailor the ship was on the way to Brazil we arrived there after 22 days I said goodbye to the boy and the sailors Brazil was a new state in South America many people started a new life there it was the same for me I didn't know anybody there soon I met people who had sugar plantations they became my friends I liked Brazil very much soon I leared the language I had some money from the captain I bought some small land in Brazil I started to produce sugar I didn't produce much for the

first two years but then my Plantation grew fast I was single but my life was good I was independent my financial situation was better every month we paid only small taxes in Brazil the society was new we didn't have many rules from the government soon I had enough money I could hire a lady for cleaning my house I asked my friends if they knew about any good woman one of my friends said I have a daughter who is 18 years old I think that she could work for you she is also a very good cook

the next day his daughter came to my house she was friendly but a little shy she was also a very pretty girl we talked shortly I told her what I needed the next day she came to my house she cleaned the dirty floor and my furniture she took out the rubbish she came to my house every morning on Monday and on Thursday she stayed in my house for 4 hours she cleaned the house she also cooked for me she gave food to my cat too I was always happy to see the girl sometimes we had

breakfast or lunch together and we talked then she was ill for one week she couldn't come to my house I felt a strange feeling when she wasn't in my house I really missed her I thought maybe I love her one week later she came to my house I was really happy to see her I saw that she was happy too I hugged her then I kissed her it was a long kiss 2 weeks later I went to her father's house I asked him if I could marry his da daughter he was quiet I waited for

his reaction then he said I agree I was the happiest man in the world two months later I married the daughter of my friend we started to plan a family this period of my life was great we had big plans for our family and our Plantation we needed a bigger house we needed more money for a bigger house I thought about the business in Africa I could make a lot of money in Africa quickly I spoke about Africa with my friends some of my friends lik this idea chapter 7 hurricane one day three of my

friends came to our house they told me that they wanted to go to Africa they asked me if I wanted to go with them I said yes I want to go with you we started to prepare all the necessary things for the journey soon we were ready to go I said goodbye to my wife then we started our journey our plan was to be back in 2 months we left Brazil on the 1st of September 1655 our ship was very big but we were only 17 men the ship was full of things for business we

had cups glass mirrors knives and other products the weather was good but very hot at the beginning of our journey a hurricane came one week later the hurricane was extremely strong strong our ship was in danger when the hurricane was away we saw that we were close to the northern part of South America we were near the oronoko river this wasn't part of our plan the ship was broken we couldn't go to Africa the captain wanted to go back and repair the ship but I didn't want to go back we talked about it we decided

to go to Barbados we wanted to repair the ship there before we got to Barbados a second hurricane came in the evening the wind was very strong the waves were big then one man shouted land when the man shouted land the ship stopped the sea wasn't deep enough it was bad for our broken ship the ship could break every second we had to go on a smaller boat this was very dangerous the boat was very small for 17 men but we had to do it if we wanted to save our lives so we were on

a small boat the waves were very big the wind was extremely strong the wind pushed us to Big Rocks we knew that the crash was close suddenly a big wave came the wave overturned the boat I was underwater I couldn't breathe I didn't see the other men I didn't see the boat then my head was above water it was only a short moment but I could breathe I saw a little beach between the Rocks a big wave pushed me to the beach I was still in water but I felt a land under my feet I

knew that I had to stand up I had to get out of the water before another wave came but my body was weak I couldn't stand up fast when another wave came I was under the water again I couldn't breathe for a while but then another wave threw me back on the beach I tried to get up I tried to go further from the sea I was able to move 10 m up I was safe but my arms and legs were very weak I collapsed I didn't move for some time after some time I was

able to get up I looked for the others I couldn't find the other men chapter 8 Island I was probably the only person alive all my friends were dead I only found three hats and two shoes on the beach it was horrible for me the weather was still very bad but the waves weren't so big I saw the ship it was far from the land I looked around I had almost nothing I was wet I had no other clothes I had nothing to eat or drink I had no good weapon I had only a little

knife which I found in my pocket the situation was really bad how could I survive with only a little knife first I tried to find some fresh water I found a small River I drank the water I was scared of dangerous animals I made a weapon from a piece of wood I spent the night in a large tree when I woke up the next morning the sea was calm I could still see the ship I needed to get some things from the ship I took off my clothes I swam to the ship I didn't see

a way inside the big ship I swam around it twice then I saw a rope on one side of the ship I used the Rope to get up the ship was empty I tried to find some food I was lucky some food on the ship was dry I also found a bottle of rum I took the bottle with me then I I heard something somebody was on the ship who was it somebody from my friends it wasn't possible my friends were all dead I was a little scared I went to the place where I heard

the noises then I saw who it was it was a dog it was a dog of our captain now I had a friend I wasn't alone I had to carry the food rum and the dog to the beach but I didn't have a small boat on the ship I had to make a raft I found some wood I made a raft from the wood I also needed some clothes I started to look for the clothes I found some when I looked for clothes I found a box with some tools I found a nice carpet next

to to the box I also found four guns and dry gunpowder I put everything on my raft the sea was calm the wind went to the land this was all good soon I was on the beach I started to look for a place where I could stay I saw a hill I thought that from the hill I could see where I was I took a gun and I started to walk to the hill I got to the top I saw sea around the whole place I was on an island I saw two small islands near

one was to the north one was to the West I also saw a big land to the South it was about 100 km far I saw nothing to the east I saw Only The Ocean I didn't see any sign of people on the island I saw only wild animals chapter 9 tent I saw many birds on the way back from the hill but I didn't know their names I didn't know if I could eat their meat I killed one bird but it's meat wasn't good I went back to the raft I moved my things further

inside the land I wanted to go back to the ship again the next day I wanted to move all the useful things to the island the next storm could destroy the ship completely I made a small tent near the beach I brought all the things which could be destroyed by rain or sun inside the tent the night was close I put some clothes on the ground I wanted to sleep on the clothes I also put two guns next to my left shoulder I also put two guns next to my right shoulder I had many guns

around me now I felt safe I was tired from all the work I fell asleep very soon I swam back to the ship the next day I made a second raft I put many things on it I was especially happy with seven new guns and some beds I took all these things safely to the beach I went to the ship the next day again I brought back many useful tools and other objects for example I found a lot of candles I needed candles on the island I also found two big boxes of tea I made

a lot of visits to the ship one day I discovered a box which was closed I found a key under the box when I opened the box I saw some coins from Europe and Brazil money wasn't useful on the island but I still took the money with me I also found playing cards with pictures they were pictures of the king the queen and other people I could play some games I could have some fun with the cards the next day big dark clouds were in the sky they were bigger and bigger the wind was stronger

and stronger I visited the ship but I didn't make a raft on that day because a storm was close a raft could break easily in a storm I swam back to the beach the wind was really strong that night fortunately I was safe inside my little tent the ship was gone the next morning I knew that I could stay on the island for a long time I wanted to make a nice place for me to live I also needed to be safe I could look for a cave or I could make a bigger tent maybe

I could do both I needed a place which was close to fresh water the place had to be in the shadow the place also needed to be easy to protect I also needed a view of the sea I wanted to be able to see ships I found a nice place next to a big hill I decided to put my tent there the hill protected me from one side I built a fence on all the other sides there was no door in the fence I used a ladder when I wanted to go over the fence I

took all my things inside I had more plans in my head I made two tents one tent was big the second tent was small the smaller tent was inside the bigger tent chapter 10 calendar the bigger tent protected the gunpowder and the food from rains I lived in the smaller tent when the tents were finished I started to dig a cave at the bottom of the hill I wanted to use the cave for food I brought stones and Earth from the cave to the fence I made a Terrace on the inside of the fence I

still worked on the cave when a storm came one day there was some lightning during the storm I thought that the lightning could hit one of the big boxes with the Gunpowder the explosion could destroy everything it could even kill me I was scared I needed to make a change as soon as possible After the Storm was gone I opened the boxes with the gunpowder I put the gunpowder into smaller boxes and bags I hid the boxes and bags in the Rocks I had a lot of gunpowder so this took me 3 days I also

hunted every day it was a break from the hard work and I also needed some meat thanks to this I also started to know the island and the Animals more I discovered some goats I hunted the goats then I had enough meat I was sad sometimes I thought about my wife I missed her a lot I thought about my friends in Brazil I thought about my parents I thought that living on this island alone was without meaning I knew that traveling by sea could change your life completely it could be great but it could be

horrible too I knew that my friends from the ship were dead I knew that I was the only person alive I was lucky to be alive I was also lucky because I had all the things like food guns and clothes I couldn't survive without these things I decided to make a big cross I put it on the beach it was near the place of my arrival to the island I wrote on it the date of of my arrival it was the 30th of September 1659 I wanted to keep information about time the cross was my

calendar I made a small cut in the cross every day the seventh cut was longer it marked the end of the week the beginning of each month was also a longer cut one day I thought about my situation I had negative thoughts this wasn't good I decided to make a list of all the good and bad things in my life I was alone on this island I had nobody for a conversation I had only a little chance that I could see England again but I was alive I was safe I had my freedom I had

food to eat this was all positive I didn't have any good clothes but I didn't need a lot of clothes on this island I had a dog he understood some words he understood when I said sit down come here bring it don't do it don't jump let's do it let's eat let's run this list showed me that my situation wasn't perfect but I had also some good things in my life life I tried to concentrate on positive things only I continued to make my place better and better I made the cave bigger more space in

the cave helped me keep all my things organized chapter 11 book I started to make some furniture I needed a chair and a table I used the wood from my rafts and the ship it took me 5 days to make a chair and a table next I made shelves inside the cave I put my tools on the shelves I put my clothes and guns in the cave too my guns were on the walls too I was very pleased when my work was finished everything was well organized I could easily find what I needed I decided

to write a book about my life on the island I described my days in the book I started with my first day on the island I wrote everything what I remembered I also wrote what I thought it was good for me when I put my thoughts on paper I wrote one page every day at the beginning but when I got to the present I wrote only one page every week I wrote only important events after after some time my days on the island started to be similar but they were never boring I had always something

to do every morning I walked for a few hours then I worked until noon I had lunch then I slept after lunch for 2 hours then I continued my work until the evening I made my cave bigger with the tools which I had I wanted to have a big Cave the Cave was my kitchen living room Cellar and sometimes a bedroom Allin one when the cave was almost done a lot of Earth fell down from one side I wasn't in the cave when it happened I was lucky if a lot of Earth fell on me

I could die first I had to clean the cave then I decided to put long board boards on the sides and also on the ceiling I didn't want the accident to happen again this work took about one week in December I continued to work in my small camp the weather wasn't very good for 20 days it rained day and night but it was still warm so I worked inside it was never cold on the island it was good for me at the end of December I killed a goat I also hurt another goat its leg

was broken the goat couldn't walk I took the goat home I looked after it after 2 weeks the goat wasn't scared it could eat from my hand I started to think about keeping animals I could have food when my gunpowder was finished in January I traveled through the Island I found more goats in the center of the island the animals were very shy it was difficult to get close to the goats I wanted to try to domesticate some goats I only needed an opportunity to do it I had a plan I returned with my dog

the next day he was my hunting partner I told my dog sit down wait don't move then I went around the goats but in a big distance chapter 12 corn when the goats were between me and my dog I hid behind a tree then I shouted at my dog come here he started to run to me and the goats too I stayed in my position behind the tree when one of the goats was close close to me I jumped and I caught its leg but then the goat kicked me with its second leg in my

nose it hurt a lot I let the goat go and the Goat was soon gone we weren't successful this wasn't a good way to catch a goat we had to do it differently I told my dog let's go home I need some rest I worked on my fence from January to March it took me a long time because I wanted to make it very strong during this time I found pigeons on the island their homes weren't in the trees they lived in holes which were in the rocks it was easy to catch them their meat

was great I could also cook and eat their eggs when I worked on my fence I found a small bag I remembered corn in the bag but now there were only some leave and dust in the bag I took the bag outside my Camp I emptied the bag because I needed it for the gunpowder this happened shortly before the rains a month later I found a few green leaves in that place it was young corn words couldn't Express how happy I was I had corn on the island it was fantastic I could bake bread in

the future something happened on March 16th I was inside my cave when pieces of earth started to fall from the ceiling I was scared I didn't want my work to be destroyed I ran outside the cave I noticed that the ground started to shake everywhere it was an earthquake I was shocked and scared some big Stones fell from the hill but I was lucky they didn't hit my tent the earthquake was finished soon but I was afraid to go inside I sat on the ground in front of my tent I started to think maybe it

was better not to sleep in the cave it wasn't very safe in case another earthquake came but I didn't want to sleep in the tent so I decided to make a house instead of the tent I wanted to use the cave only as a Cellar the next day I started to build the house it was in April it took me 3 months to build the house but I was happy with my new home I was Ill in the last week of July I had a temperature I couldn't get out of the bed I was very

weak I could do nothing in that state I had crazy dreams the dreams weren't very logical but for me they were real when I had these dreams chapter 13 dream one of my dreams was really crazy I was in a pub the pub was on my Island I wanted to drink some rum but the waitress was very lazy she sat at the bar she did nothing I didn't like it I was angry but I waited then my wife came to the pub she gave me a piece of paper with some text it was a message

from her father he wrote come home you have to work on the plantations but I didn't want to go home I went to the kitchen in the pub there was my mother in the kitchen she prepared some steaks she also cooked soup I tasted the soup it tasted fantastic then two Englishmen came to the pub they wanted to sell gunpowder one man looked like a gentleman but the second second man was horrible I told the horrible man I'm sorry I don't need your gunpowder I have a lot of gunpowder in my Camp what did you

say said the horrible man our gunpowder isn't good for you this is the reason why we are here we traveled from London you have to buy our gunpowder I said thank you I don't want your Gunpowder the man was really angry our conversation wasn't good he said some horrible things about me I said some horrible things about him the conversation got to a point when he wanted to kill me he took his gun I started to run away he shot at me then I woke up one week later I felt better but I still needed

to relax I needed to sleep a lot in August I was okay again I still felt a little weak I knew that I needed to do some physical exercise the next 10 days I walked around the island this exercise made me feel better when I felt strong again I decided to explore the whole island I found a new interesting part of the island it was a valley with a lake the valley was in the central part of the island I found melons and grapes there the melons were very sweet there were also apples oranges and

lemons in this Valley I wanted to take some fruit home but I needed a big bag I didn't have a big bag with me I collected some fruit I put the fruit in one place I returned to my cave I took a big a bag for the fruit when I was back I saw that my fruit was destroyed some fruit was eaten some fruit was broken I thought that some wild animals ate the fruit still I like the fruit Valley the nature was beautiful there I wanted to live there I thought I can move here

but the beach is far from this place I have to be close to the beach because I need to see a ship which can save me chapter 14 house I didn't move to the fruit Valley but I decided to build another house there I started to visit the valley alley more often step by step I was building a house there the house was small there was a double fence around it the house was protected like a castle again I used a ladder to go in and out but I had also stairs on the inside of

the fence I used stairs on the inside and I used ladder on the outside this activity took me the whole of August and the beginning of September but I enjoyed it a lot the fruit Valley gave me so much energy I felt so healthy and strong there sometimes when I was in the valley at night I watched the moon and the stars I thought about my wife I thought about my family in England I knew that they could see the same Moon they could see the same stars but we couldn't be together I thought about

my family very often I wished the best for them I also thought about all the people who could see the moon I imagine the places where they lived I felt connected with all the people sometimes I felt connected with the whole universe I also thought about God God I had some questions for God I asked him why am I on this island what is the reason for it why am I still alive when my friends are dead I didn't have answers to many of these questions but I trusted God I believed that he knew what

he was doing then the rainy season started the rainy season continued until the middle of October this was my first year on the island when the rains ended I returned to my Valley house I saw that the fence was all green new leaves were growing everywhere this wasn't only beautiful it was also useful because my house was hidden it was really hard to see the house the leaves created Shadow it was very nice to stay there I decided to make a fence from the same wood around my first house too when the rainy season was

finished I put my corn seeds into the ground I was afraid that something bad could happen I only used a half of the seeds this was a good idea because unfortunately none of these seeds grew up I put the second half of the seeds into the ground before the next rainy season this time they grew up all right I could say that I had a little farm on the island I could see that the seasons on the island were different from England there were no spring summer autumn and winter on the island but there were

two rainy and two dry seasons with this this information I could now plan when to put seeds into the ground chapter 15 basket I started to make longer and longer trips around the island soon I realized that I needed a basket for these trips with a basket I could carry more food when I made my trips around the island I could also carry more fruit from the fruit Valley I cut branches from the same tree which I used for my fences I dried these branches I used the branches to make the basket when I finished

the basket I decided to make a longer trip around the island I went through the valley with my second house after the valley I found some grass field Fields they were very flat they had a lot of flowers they smelled so good a lot of insects were flying around these flowers I saw some big butterflies their wings were 10 cm wide there were small trees around these fields I found nuts on these trees these nuts were different from nuts in England they had a different shape they were also sweeter than nuts in England I also

discovered some new animals on this side of the island there were many parrots rabbits and grayc cats there I even caught one parrot I took the parrot with me there were many colors on his body I saw red green purple orange blue pink and yellow there were also a lot of turtles and other birds there this part of the island was nicer there was more food in this part but I didn't want to move my dog caught a young goat on the way back I saved the goat I took the goat with me I wanted

to keep goats now I had another chance I left the goat in my Valley Home first I wanted to prepare some space for the goat in my first home I was so tired from the trip that I was relaxing the whole day I made a cage for the parrot I brought home the goat the goat started to calm down I made a map of the whole island I put these newly discovered places on the map the time went very quickly soon it was September again this was my second year on the island I wasn't as

sad as in the beginning I accepted my situation I was happy with what I had my days were similar I hunted in the morning I cooked at noon I was relaxing in the afternoon when the sun was the strongest and I worked in the evening this was my typical day I also taught the parrot to say his name his name was pole my corn fields kept me busy in November and December the wild goats and rabbits were eating the little plants I didn't want to lose my corn so I quickly made a fence around the

area with the seeds I made a gate which which I could open quickly in the fence I put my dog inside the fence he protected my corn at night soon the plants were tall but another danger came Birds started to eat the seeds I shot some and I was watching my corn until all the birds were gone chapter 16 bread I had my first corn at the end of December it wasn't a lot of corn I didn't want to eat the corn I decided to keep all the seeds my goal was to put the seeds

in the ground again and have more corn later I thought I will need some pots for the seeds I will look for clay around the island I found some clay I tried to make a pot I had no success at the beginning people in England Made Beautiful pots but I didn't know the whole process well enough to be able to make pots however I tried again and again it was a long process but after two months of experimenting and trying I made two large pots I put the pots into round baskets I put dry grass

between the baskets and the pots the dry grass and the baskets protected the pots very well I continued to make small pots their quality improved I also made long but not very high pots I put sea water in these pots when the water was gone I had salt one day I found a broken piece of one pot in the fire the fire made the piece as hard as Stone and it was very red too this gave me a good idea I took one pot and made a fire around the pot the pot was very hard

after a few hours I was happy with the result I thought I will also need a tool to make flour from seeds I took a big piece of hard wood for that I made a hole in the wood then I took another piece of hardwood wood and I broke the seeds in this hole with the wood the flower stayed on the bottom of the hole I thought I will need something to bake bread I had an idea I mixed the flour with water then I took two stones I put the stones near the fire when

they were very hot I put the bread between the stones this was how I made my first bread on the island it was during my third year on the island the bread wasn't perfect but I liked it a lot it was my first bread after a long time I thought about traveling around the island by sea I thought that it was possible to make a canoe from a big tree I found one big tree I cut the tree and I started to make a hole in it one day when I was working on the canoe

I realized that I didn't know how to move it from the forest to the beach I tried everything to move the canoe I even thought about digging a channel but it was all useless there was a hill between the forest and the beach I was really sad that I had to leave the canoe in the forest many days of work were lost I didn't believe that I could make such a mistake I had to plan my work better next time chapter 17 canoe during my fourth year on the island my clothes were already very old

I started to use the skins of the animals I made a cap and other clothes from the Skins they kept me cool in the strong strong sun and they protected me from the heavy rain but the clothes weren't enough I also needed an umbrella it took me some time to make the umbrella but I was successful in the end I was quite happy with my life on the island I had everything what I needed for my life on the island my life on the island continued for the next 5 years during this time I decided

to make a new canoe the canoe was smaller and it was easier to move I wanted to travel around the island in it when the canoe was finished I put food water and tools in it I was ready for the trip I wanted to test if I could go around the island in my canoe the trip started during my sixth year on the island on the 6th of June the beginning of my trip wasn't easy for me I was in danger when my journey started I had to go around some rocks in the sea when

I wanted to go back to the coast I realized that there was a strong current the current was taking me away from the island the situation was horrible I was scared I thought I will die in the open sea I didn't have enough food and water for a long journey I fought very hard against the current for 2 hours finally I managed to get close to my Island I could continue my trip around the island now I knew that I was Stronger than the currents around the island it made me feel good soon I found

a small river which went further inside the island but I got nowhere because soon the river was very narrow Stones blocked the way I couldn't continue I got off my canoe I went to explore this part of the island it wasn't far from the part of the island which I knew I even found the way to my house in the valley I was so tired from the trip that I fell asleep I was woken up by a voice the voice was saying my name Robinson where are you Robinson where are you first I was scared

but then I saw my parrot pole on top of the fence he knew this sentence from me and he was saying it with the same intonation as me I was surprised to see him here I thought why wasn't he at home still I was was happy to hear somebody talk to me I left the canoe where it was and I returned home with the parot I didn't make another such trip for a year I stayed in my house most of the time I kept making tools and pots I was better at making baskets chapter 18

foot it was 11 years since my first moment on the island one day I noticed that I didn't have much gunpowder it started to worry me I needed gunpowder to kill animals my first goat was very old it was too late to try to find a mail for her I wanted meat but I didn't have the heart to kill her one day she died a natural death I thought thought with less and less gunpowder I will have to find another way to get meat I will make some trap tomorrow I will start to make the

Trap I wasn't successful at the beginning but then I caught three young goats they were one male and two females I took the goats home with me I kept the goats inside a small area with a fence around it but it was too small for three goats I made a fence for them around a big area it took me 3 months to build this fence but the area was very nice there was a lot of grass and water for them after some time the young goats were very calm soon they ate out of my hand

in 2 years I had 12 goats inside my fence and in 3 years I had more than 20 goats I had a lot of milk and meat thanks to this I experimented few times and I was able to make cheese and butter my table was full now and I had a lot of animals around me I had my old dog goats and pole my parrot the only thing which I still missed was somebody for a conversation one day I went to the part of the sea where the strong current was on the way there I

thought about how strange I looked I had a big hat a short jacket and short trousers they were all made from animal skin I didn't have socks or shoes but I put some goat skins around my feet I had two belts one belt was for the gun and knife and one belt for the gunpowder I also carried a b basket on my back and an umbrella above my head my beard was very long I realized that life on the island made me a different person one day I was walking on the beach I was going

to check my canoe then I saw something surprising I saw a mark of a human foot on the sand I looked around but I didn't see anybody I was scared I ran back to my house I was so scared that it was difficult to sleep at night I started to think maybe it was all just my imagination or maybe it was the mark of my own foot and it was stupid to be scared this thought made me feel better I left my house and I went to see the mark in the sand again chapter 19

cannibals when I came to the mark of the foot I saw that it was much bigger than the size of my foot it was impossible that it was my foot I was scared again I started to panic I thought I will destroy my corn field fields in my Valley house I have to hide my activity on the island I was so afraid that I couldn't sleep the whole night I finally slept a little in the morning my head was clear when I woke up now it wasn't so strange that people lived on the islands around

I thought maybe it was their first visit here maybe they won't come again I felt better after these thoughts but still I wanted to be safe during the following month I made another fence around my house and I made holes in the fence through which I could easily fire guns if I was attacked now I had a house which was very well protected nobody could come easily near me I also worried about my goats I divided the animals into two groups I built a smaller fence in another part of the island I put one group

of the goats there it took me a lot of time but my animals were safe it was the 16th year of my life on the island when something very sad happened my dog died I was crying for 3 days I went to my goats and I told them how sad I was they didn't understand my words but I felt that they understood me they felt my emotions they were unusually calm and quiet it was now 2 years after the foot in the sand on the beach one day when I was walking on the beach I

thought that I saw a canoe far in the see I wasn't sure so I just continued my walk then I saw a thing which shocked me the beach was full of parts of human bodies heads hands feet fingers and teeth were everywhere there was a black place after a fire I was angry and scared at the same time they were here again I thought I couldn't look at this horrible scene for a long time I had a horrible feeling in my stomach I went back home and I thought about what to do I decided not

to go out to sea with my canoe because I had no chance against a group of cannibals in the open sea I also decided not to use guns because the sound of a gun was very loud but I always had guns with me for protection ction I started to think that maybe in the future I could kill some of the cannibals and save their prisoners I started to look for a place near the beach where I could hide and prepare for the attack then I changed my opinion I thought that it wasn't reasonable to fight

the cannibals I didn't know these people they didn't attack me maybe it wasn't good to attack them finally I stopped the preparations and I decided to act only if they attacked me first chapter 20 cave I was hiding my activity on the island as much as possible I was very careful I tried not to be loud I was worried when I made a fire but I needed fire because I needed to cook so when I made a fire I tried to make as little smoke as possible smoke could go very high and it could be

seen from a distance once I discovered a small cave in the forest near the beach I went inside but when my eyes were okay with the dark I saw two eyes which were looking at me I jumped outside I was scared to death death I waited but nothing happened I went slowly to the beginning of the cave and I listened I heard something it sounded as if there was somebody injured inside I took my gun and I entered the cave slowly when my eyes could see again I discovered an Old Goat it was dying in

the cave I returned to the cave the next day I found that the goat was dead I looked around the place and I saw that it was very safe I thought it will be a good place near the beach where I could hide so I brought some of my guns and some Gunpowder there it was 23 years since my first moment on this island I was living comfortably now and I had many animals around me me pole was repeating my name and some other words very nicely I had two more parrots and I taught parrots

to say my name I had more than 30 goats it was the last month of my 23rd year on the island I was walking to my Fields early one morning when I saw fire on the beach I immediately returned to my house and I prepared all my guns I took my telescope and I went close to the beach I hid myself and I watched what was happening on the beach saw nine naked people they had two canoes it looked like that they were waiting for the high tide when they left I went to the beach

the beach was full of Blood and Bones again the this made me angry I will kill as many of the cannibals as possible next time when I see them I thought but they didn't return for a long time one day in the evening after a big storm something happened which Disturbed me I heard the sound of a gun at Sea I got out of my house and I saw a light which was coming from the sea a second shot followed I thought that it was coming from a ship in danger which was asking for help

I took a lot of dry wood and I ran to the beach where I made a big fire they probably saw the fire because they fired again I thought I will speak to somebody tonight this is great I kept the fire until midnight but nobody came to my Beach it was strange it was something what I couldn't understand maybe in the morning I will know more I thought chapter 21 visitors the next day in the morning I saw the ship the ship stopped far from the beach the ship looked empty I didn't understand it I

expected the people who fired the gun yesterday I really wanted to communicate to somebody I missed communication with real people very much I took my canoe and I decided to go to the ship I wanted to see if somebody survived the ship looked Spanish and it was completely destroyed when I got closer I saw a dog he was very happy to see me I gave him bread and I gave him water he was hungry and extremely thirsty I found nobody on the ship what happened to the men from the ship I thought it was very

strange I didn't have an answer to this question it was a mystery there were many boxes with different things on the ship some boxes were small some boxes were big many big bees were full of bottles with alcohol but these boxes were too heavy I couldn't take the boxes on the canoe I found guns and gunpowder I took them to the canoe I also found some other useful things I returned to the island in the evening with several small boxes on my canoe I had some new shirts and also Gold Silver and a lot of

gunpowder the gunpowder was important for me on the island gunpowder was more useful than money gold there was something else which I needed very much I needed shoes I found two pairs of shoes on board the ship I took the shoes with me I put all my new things in the cave I made five trips to the ship I took everything useful for me then I hid the canoe everything went back to normal time went quickly I often thought about the men from the ship and the cannibals on the beach it was one night in

March when I dreamed that two canoes with cannibals landed on the beach one of their prisoners ran away he came to my house I saved him then he became my friend he helped me go through through the Dangerous Waters around the island I woke up but the dream stayed in my mind I realized that with someone's help it could be possible to escape from the island maybe I could save one of the prisoners of the cannibals I decided to watch the beach more I went every day around the beach for the next two years I

hoped to see the canoes My Wish became reality one afternoon I saw five canoes with more than 30 men on the beach I couldn't attack so many men I had to wait I watched the visitors with my telescope the visitors made a fire and they started to dance around it I also saw two other men they were tied they were prisoners the two tied men were taken to the fire after a while one was beaten and killed the cannibals painted their bodies with his blood it was like a theater but this wasn't a theater it

was real it was horrible but I couldn't do anything there were too many cannibals the second man waited on the side when the cannibals didn't look the second man jumped up and he started to run away he was running in my direction I ran to the beach and I hid behind a tree I saw that he was followed only by two cannibals this was the right moment to save the prisoner the man ran as fast as possible but the cannibals were closer and closer to him their speed was faster than his chapter 22 Friday I

prepared two guns and I waited behind the tree The Prisoner ran directly to my tree but he didn't see me I didn't move then he ran around me I was still hidden behind the tree when the first cannibal ran close to me I jumped from behind the tree he was shocked I shot him the second cannibal saw this he tried to shoot an arrow at me I had to shoot him too The Prisoner stopped when he heard the shots and he turned he was scared I smiled at him I showed him that it was okay

to come closer he came to me he went down to his knees he put his head on the ground then he took my foot he put my foot on his head I showed him to stand up he stood up he looked at the dead cannibals he went to their B bodies he looked at the holes in their bodies he probably couldn't understand what happened to the cannibals it was unbelievable to him he took the arrows from the dead men we took the bodies of the cannibals we hid the bodies in the forest near then we

went into the deeper Forest I took the man to my Cave the Cave was my secret nobody could find us there I gave him bread meat and some water he was so tired that he fell asleep almost immediately I had an opportunity to look at him I saw that he was young slim but very strong I thought that he was about 25 years old he had long black hair dark skin and a pleasant face I let him sleep and I went outside I stayed near the cave and I watched for the cannibals but they didn't

look for us 3 hours later the man came out of the cave he showed me how happy he was that he was alive and safe I started speaking to him I named him Friday it was Friday when I saved his life I told him my name and I taught him yes and no we stayed in the cave that night the next day we went on top of the hill I saw through my telescope that the canoes were gone we were alone on the island we went carefully to the beach first we went to the place

where we hid the bodies of the Dead cannibals when we found the bodies Friday wanted to eat the cannibals I was angry I showed to Friday that it wasn't good to eat them here I understood that Friday was also a cannibal we buried the cannibals then we walked to the beach what we saw was horrible there were human bones all around the sand was red with blood I asked Friday to collect all the body parts I prepared a big fire I decided to burn the body parts in the fire we went to my house I

made a little tent for Friday between the two fences which were around my house I took all his weapons away I wanted to feel safe after a while I realized that I didn't have to do it Friday was a very good and honest man he was like a child to me I was like a a father to him in many situations later he showed me that he was willing to give his life for me I was very happy to have Friday on the island I began teaching him everything what he needed to know about life

like a European first I taught him some new words I started with hi hello bye thank you it wasn't easy at the beginning but I was patient because I was happy that I could speak to somebody
