Dthe dry season I spent a lot of time in my country house. I planted corn on the land ait and I also kept some goats there. I liked going for long walks in the woods and along the beaches. It was a very pleasant part of the island.
One day, while I was walking along a beach, I saw the footprints of a man in the sand! I was very s , and also afraid. Was there another person on my island? Was it a cannibal? I looked around and listened c, but I couldn't see or hear anyone. I h back to my castle and pulled the ladder up behind me. I was very worried and I didn't go out for three days. I couldn't fthe footprints.
'Perhaps someone from the mainland came in a boat and then left again, 'I thought. 'P people often come from the mainland. But if that's true, why do they come? What do they want? Are they l for me? Do they want to kill me?'
Suddenly I didn't feel safe a.
On the third day I had to go out to get some food and milk the goats. I didn't see anyone and I began to feel less frightened.
But the next day I started to build another s fence around my castle.
