During all this time, I never stopped thinking about escape (逃跑). When I travelled across to the other side of the island(岛), I could see the other islands, and I1 to myself, "Perhaps I can get there with a 2. Perhaps I can get back to England one day."
So I decided 3 myself a boat. I 4 a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think carefully5 I began to work? Of course, the canoe was too6. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried 7, but it didn't move. I was very 8 for a long time after that.
In my sixth year on the 9, I made myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long 10, and I did not want to die(死) at sea. The island was my home now, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made 11 a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also 12 myself a second house there, and so I had two13.
I kept food and tools at both of my homes, and also kept wild 14. There were many goats (山羊)on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats' milk to15 every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so, many years went by.
