Various versions of Robinson Crusoe

I made a fortune doing business. The third time, he was unfortunately captured by the Moors and became a slave. Later, he escaped by rowing his master's boat and was rescued by a Portuguese cargo ship on the way. After the ship arrived in Brazil, he bought a manor there and became the owner of the manor. Not content to get rich like this, he went out to sea and sold slaves in Africa.

On the fourth voyage, the ship encountered a storm on the way, and all the sailors and passengers on board were killed. Only Robinson survived and drifted to an isolated island. He made a raft from the mast of the sunken ship, transported the food, clothes, guns, ammunition and tools from the ship to the shore again and again, and set up a tent on the hillside to settle down. Then he surrounded the tent with sharpened stakes and dug a hole behind the tent to live in. He made tables, chairs and other furniture with simple tools, hunted game as food and drank fresh water from the stream, and passed the initial difficulties.

He began to plant barley and rice on the island, make wooden mortar, pestle and sieve, process flour and bake coarse bread. He captured and domesticated wild goats and made them reproduce. He also makes pottery to meet his own needs. At the other end of the desert island, a "country house" and a farm were built. Even so, Robinson never gave up looking for separation.

The way to open the island. He cut down a big tree and spent five or six months making a canoe, but the boat was too heavy to be dragged into the sea, so he had to give up all his previous efforts and build a small canoe again.

Robinson lived alone on the island 15 years later, one day, he found a footprint on the coast of the island. Soon, he found human bones again, and it was too hot. It turns out that a group of savages from outer islands once held a feast of human flesh here. Robinson was surprised. Since then, he has been vigilant and paid more attention to the things around him. Until the 24th year, another group of savages came to the island with prisoners who were ready to kill and eat. Robinson found and rescued one of them. Because it was Friday, Robinson named the rescued savage "Friday". Since then, "Friday" has become Robinson's loyal servant and friend. Later, Robinson and Friday rescued a Spaniard and Friday's father. Soon, an English ship docked near the island, and the sailors on board rebelled and abandoned the captain and three others on the island. Robinson and Friday helped the captain subdue the rebellious sailors and recapture the ship. He left the sailors on the island and left the desert island for England with Friday and the captain. At this time, Robinson has been away from home for 35 years (living on the island for 28 years). He got married in England and had three children. After his wife died, Robinson went out to sea again for business and passed by the desert island where he lived. At this time, the sailors and Spaniards who stayed on the island have settled down and thrived. Robinson sent some new immigrants, gave them the land on the island, and left them all kinds of daily necessities, leaving the island with satisfaction.
