Robinson's father wants his son to study law, but he is bent on sailing. One day, when Robinson went to Hull, one of his companions was about to take his father's boat to London. He was tempted and followed-it was August of 165 1, and he was nineteen years old. No sooner had the ship sailed out of the sea than it was hit by a terrible storm, which made him feel unspeakable sadness and fear. He swore with pain that if God left his life on this voyage, he would stay with his dear parents after landing, and he would listen to their advice from now on. But the next day the wind stopped and the waves stopped. The sun sets in the west, followed by a beautiful and lovely night. At this time, after drinking a bowl of sweet wine brewed by his companions, he gave up his determination to go home after the voyage.
2. The second voyage. The second time I went out to sea to do business in Africa, I made a fortune.
3. The third voyage. When Robinson was doing business in Guinea, Africa, he was captured by a Turkish pirate ship and sold as a slave. Later, he rowed his master's boat and ran away. On the way, he was rescued by a Portuguese cargo ship and fled to Brazil to run a sugarcane plantation alone and become a manor owner. Life is going well.
4. I met it on the fourth voyage.
Due to the shortage of manpower in Brazil, several plantation owners knew that Robinson had been to some slave market ports in Africa to do business, and they tried their best to coax him to sail and buy some slaves for their plantations. Unexpectedly, their ship ran aground on an unknown island on the north coast of South America, and all the sailors and passengers were drowned. Only he was washed ashore by the huge waves and saved his life.
5. Bury beetles. When I first arrived at a desert island, I saw a beetle on the beach. He grabbed a handful of beetles buried in sand, but later the beetles would climb out again, which greatly inspired him. Maybe Robinson will live on a desert island with this beetle spirit for 28 years. )
6. Talk to dogs and birds. Robinson's only companion is a dog. Afraid of forgetting human language, he insisted on talking to dogs every day. It shows that he misses human society very much. )
7. Keep a diary every day. Using the old timekeeping method, Robinson insisted on keeping a diary every day. I hope that one day I can return to the home of mankind.
8. Carrying things from a ship to a desert island
At that time, all Robinson had was a knife, a pipe and a little tobacco in a box. When he regained his strength and was able to walk, he walked along the coast. To his great joy, fresh water was discovered. After drinking water, I put a handful of tobacco in my mouth to relieve my hunger. After that, I lived in a tree, slept comfortably, saved my energy and the sea was calm. But what pleased him most was that he saw the boat. When the tide receded and he saw that he was close to the coast, he swam to the boat. There is only one dog and two cats left on the boat, and there are no other creatures. But there were many necessities on board, so he began to work. In order to transport those things to an inlet on the island, he specially made a raft and made a flat highland with fresh water on the island as his residence. Bread, rice, barley and wheat, cheese and dried mutton, sugar, flour, boards, logs, ropes-all these, plus a few muskets, two pistols, several shotguns, a hammer, and-that's the most useless-36 pounds. All these things he took from the ship to the shore day after day between low tides. On the thirtieth night, his treatment work was completed, and he was ready for dealing with this desert island in the future, and he was at ease.
9. drying raisins and beating goats
There are many wild fruit trees on the island, but it took Robinson a long time to find them. He dried them and made raisins. There were goats running around the island, so he raised tame goats, killed them, smoked them and pickled them.
10. Make a calendar
Robinson made the pillar into a big cross and stood where he landed for the first time. On the four sides of this pillar, he carved a gap with a knife every day, a gap twice as long every seven days and a gap twice as long every month. In this way, he has a calendar and can calculate the date.
