Robinson Crusoe
By Daniel Defoe
Born in a rich family, Robinson was so fearless that he was interested in sail on his own. His father forbade him from his dangerous dream, but Robinson refused to take his father’s advice. He went on a sail, which later resulted in the ship sinking. However, Robinson did not learn a lesson from his failure. Instead, he carried on his adventure.
One day, his friends suggested him to buy solves from Africa and then sold them in America in order to earn plenty of money. But this kind of evil act was not supported by god. Robinson’s ship came across a great storm and the ship sank again. All the people on the ship died, except Robinson. He drifted onto an island. What’s more fortunately, he managed to get some food, together with some clothes, guns, ammo and some tools from the sunken ship. By digging holes under his tent, Robinson made his first house. After his hardest time, the life of Robinson finally reached the right way.
Robinson started to plant barley and paddy, and taught himself to make bread. During this period of time, he never gave up looking for the chance to be found by British or Spanish, dream of being sent to his hometown. But when he finally found a footstep, he felt frightened. The reason was that he realized the footstep belonged to a savage. So Robinson armed his house and turned it into a bastion.
Later, Robinson helped a savage who would have eaten by other savages and made the savage his servant. Robinson gave his servant a name of ‘Friday’, just because it was on Friday that Robinson found the savage and saved him. Friday soon became his friend. Robinson taught Friday to speak English, to believe in god and how to use guns.
As an old saying goes, ’God help those who help themselves.’ After the long, long time to wait, a British ship came at last. Soon Robinson found that the captain of the ship was betrayed, and the mate, as well as some other sailors, decided to take pirate as his new job. Robinson and Friday used their wisdom to help the captain take command of the ship again. To express the great thanks to Robinson, the captain sent Robinson and Friday to England for free. Then, after 35 years of drift, Robinson came back to his hometown.
