The main content
Robinson Crusoe was born into a respectable merchant family, eager to sail, and wanted to see abroad. He went out to London with his father, and went to London to buy some fake beads and toys to do business in Africa.
On the fourth voyage, the ship was caught in a storm on the way, and all the shipmates were killed, but Robinson survived and drifted to a lonely island. He used the mast of the sunken ship to make a raft, and again and again brought the food, clothes and guns and ammunition to the shore, and set up his tent on the hill to settle down. Then he used sharpened stakes to fence around the tent and dig in after the tent. He used simple tools to make furniture such as tables, chairs and other furniture, hunting game for food, drinking fresh water in the stream, and passing through the initial difficulties.
He began to grow barley and rice on the island, and made his own wooden mortar, pestle, sieve, and flour, and baked rough bread. He captured and domesticated wild goats to breed. He also made pottery and so on, which ensured his life. A "country house" and a farm have been built on the other side of the desert island. Even so, Robinson has not given up on finding a way to leave the island. He cut down a big tree and spent five or six months making it into a canoe, but the boat was too heavy for him to pull down, so he had to abandon it and rebuild a small boat. After living alone on the island for 15 years, Crusoe found a footprint on the shore of the island. Before long, he found traces of human bone and fire, where a group of wild men had held a meat feast. Robinson was amazed. Since then, he has been vigilant, paying more attention to things around him. Until the 24th year, a group of savages came to the island, taking prisoners ready to kill and eat. Robinson found out and rescued one of them. Because it was Friday, Robinson named the rescued prisoner "Friday". After that, "Friday" became Robinson's faithful servant and friend. Next, Robinson rescued a Spanish man and Friday's father with Friday. Soon a British ship anchored near the island, the ship sailor insurgency, three people abandoned on the island, such as the captain and Robinson "Friday" help the captain overpowered the rebellion sailor, regain the ships. He left the sailors on the island, and returned to England with "Friday" and the captain. Robinson has been away from home for 35 years (28 years on the island). He married in England and had three children. After his wife's death, Robinson went out to sea again, on the deserted island where he had lived, and the sailors and spaniards who had stayed on the island had made their home. Crusoe sent some new settlers, gave them the land, and left them with all their daily necessities, and left the island with satisfaction.
