When I traveled across to the other side of the island,I could see the other islands,and I said to myself,Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.” So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree,and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work,but about six months later,I had averyfine canoe （独木舟）.Next,I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was！Why didnt I think before I began work?Of course,the canoe was too heavy. I couldnt move it！I pulled and pushed and tried everything,but it didnt move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.

The island was my home now,not my prison,and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later,I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there,and so I had two homes.I kept food and tools at both my houses,and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island,and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take foodfromme,and soon I had goatsmilkto drink everyday.
