Chapter Eight

I’m always Busy

I had now been on the island for one year. I knew the year was the divided into rainy and dry seasons. I could plants seeds one time and gather the foods the other time. I decided to use my planting skill from ? to grow my own good. I planted the seeds of corn and rice that I taken from the ship. Fortunately I didn’t plant all of those seeds. My first plants did not grow because I have planted them at the wrong time. I planted the second crap. These plants grew well. It gave me plenty of now corn and rice. I was able to plant even more during the sea time. As the years passed, I planted and gathered these good two times a year.

One day we I returned from my garden, I found that the I had used to build the fence had grown many leaves like trees. Now those made ? for me to spent all the hot dry days there. I taught myself how to make best of ?, than I ? and sign in the . Those were very useful for holding fruit corn and rice. After so long on the island, I realized that because of hard work I have almost everything I needed to live well. I had been luck to land such a wonderful island. The only I needed were some more bottles and some pots to cook with. I also wanted a new pipe to smoke tobacco with. I did not know what I use to make pots, bottles and the pipe.

There was nothing in my garden or my house to make those things of course. So I decided to explore more of the island. I called my dog and took my gun some dry meet and a great bunch of grapes, I began to explore. I walked extremely far

that day. I climbed the hill and looked out at the ocean. I saw some land not far off. I had no idea who might live there. It could be owned by the Spanish, or the home of savages. I deeply hoped it was Spanish and surely ship would pass my island sooner or later. If savage people lived there, it was good that I lived where I was. If I had landed on there land, they would have had me for dinner.

As I walked down, I found myself on the part of the island that was much more beautiful than my home. There were open green field filled with flowers and grass. It was a great fruit strong trees. Many ? lived on the trees and flew from one to another. Their feathers are of all colors and ?, and it made loud cheerful noises. I was able to catch and took it home. I thought I could teach it to speak with me. I arrived on the other side of the island and saw the beach there. These beach was covered with turtles and many more birds than the beach on my side of the island. Although this part of the island was much more beautiful I did not want to live there. I had come to think my house my cave and my garden as my home and I did not want move again. As we walked back home, my dog scared young goat and ran front me. he was about to kill it when I stopped him. I had been thinking about gather many goats and use their milk. I could also kill them easily when I need meet. Here was a fine young . If I could catch a young female coat I would be lucky. Making a rope for the goat, from the ? I have always carried. I led the animal home garden where I left him. I immediately sat off the beach. I was happy to be home again. And I began to make a cage from the ?. After a week I went to my garden to take care of my goat. I was horrified when I saw him almost dead. It was so hungry. I had thought there was enough to eat in garden for him, but perhaps he did not like any of the fruits. I gave him something to eat. When I

began to walk to home, it followed me like a dog. From then on he almost never let me out of his sight. It would be many years before I had many goats.

Soon after this, it was the day of September 13th. Now I had been in the island for two years. I had never seen another ship in the water, the hope idea I might be rescued grew less and less each day. The years passed, I dried my grapes and ?

more corn and meet. I worked my garden and hunted the food. I began a ? that I kept busy for many months. ? the inside the tree ? to make a wooden ?. Because I have been on the island for some years, my clothes began to . The cloth of my ? dead friends had kept me warm from a long time. When these clothes also

became useless. I made myself a suit and a ? from those ?. I spent sometime making umbrella. This would protect me from the sun as I was walking along the beach. I had found and tried to teach ? my ? to speak. Perhaps he did not like because she never say one word. It takes me six years on the island to make a good ?. Finally I was ready to travel around in the water. I ? it the sail, loaded it with supplies and began to sail around the island. The first time I went to sail my ?, the strong water ? took me very far away from the island. I had to very hard to get the boat back to my beach. The second time I went out, I had study the water currents so I new how to travel through the water. When I returned the island, I took the to my small ? ?. Then with my umbrella covering my face from the sun, I walked along the beach towards home. I was happy to reach my garden early in the

evening. Tired by my adventure and , I lay down under the trees and fell asleep. When I woke up I heard someone calling my name, over and over I heard. “R?, Poor R?. Where are you, R?.
