The text:
Robinson Crusoe is the story of a man who lived on a desert island. This is how his story began.
He was travelling with other sailors to Guinea when a terrible tempest broke out. The wind was so violent and the waves so high that they all fell into the sea and the boat sank.
Robinson managed to swim to an island. He was afraid of wild animals so he spent the night on a tree.
The next day he looked for his friends but didn’t find them. They had all died. Crusoe was all alone but he was lucky because there was a lot of food and water on the island.
However, he had nobody to talk except a parrot.
One day he saw a group of cannibals who brought a prisoner for their dinner. Crusoe saved him and became his friend. He called him Friday. Do you know why? Because he met him on Friday. Unfortunately, Friday was a savage who didn’t know Crusoe’s language.
However, after a few weeks, Crusoe taught him some English and they were able to communicate.
They lived on the island for twenty years until a passing boat saved them.
