  • The Childhood of Robinson Crusoe

  • My name is Robinson Crusoe.
  • I was born in the old city of York.
    • Where there is a broad river with ships coming and going down.
    • All my freetime I spent there, looking for a qiuet stream.
    • How pleasant it was!
    • I watched for coming ships with big beautiful sails spread to the wind.
    • I liked to think about distant lands that they have visited and many interesting things that they have passed.
    • These thoughts always agitated my mind.
  • "I wish to be a sailor!" I said to myself.
    • It must be grand - sail on boundless bue sea, when the sky above and waves behind the ship.
    • My father wanted me to stay in the York.
  • He wanted to teach me a handcraft.
    • But I am not going to stay here.
    • The thought that I would have to spend all my life in the old dusty room is killing me.
  • I wish to see the world!
    • I wish to be a sailor and nothing else!
  • My mother was very sad.
    • She told me that sailor's life is a hard life.
    • "You did not earn anything and frequent storms at sea breaking ships and ruining people.
    • How much safer it is to be at home!" she told to myself and kissing me.
  • But nothing could scare me.
    • I wish to be a sailor and nothing can stop me.
    • When I was eighteen years old I start work as a captain's pupil on a trading ship.
    • It was my first voyage!
