I looked around the ship, and then, I found some long pieces of wood. I made a raft(木筏), the ship's sails and seven guns.
There were some hills around me, so I decided to build myself a little house on one of them. After some time, I found a little cave (洞穴), there was a good place to make a home. After a lot of hard work I had a very fine tent. The cave at the back of my tent was a good place to keep my food, so I called it my "kitchen". The next day I thought about the possible dangers on the island. So I built a very strong fence(篱笆), and get some more things.
I went back twelve times, but soon after my twelfth visit, there was another terrible storm.
The next morning, when I looked out at the sea, there was no ship.
When I saw that, I was very sad. "Why am I alive(活着), and why are all my friends dead?"I asked myself. "What will happen to me now
Then I told myself that I was lucky——lucky to be alive, lucky to have food and tools and lucky to be young and strong. I said to myself, "I'm going to be on this island for a long time. " So on a long piece of wood(雕刻)these words:I CAME HERE ON 30 TH SEPTEMBER 1659. After that, I decided to carve the date each day.
