When the Spanish gets up, I ask him the reason.He says, %u201cOur ship got broken. There are sixteen Europans on the island and we%u2019re from Spain and Portugal. We really want to go back home, but there%u2019s a problem. We don%u2019t have the tools to build a new ship.%u201dI say, %u201cI have some tools from my ship! With these tools, we can build a new ship. Come, let me show you!%u201dAfter he looks at tools, I make a plan. I offer %u201c I think that you and Friday%u2019s father can return to their island. You can tell other Europeans about my tools. Together we can build a ship. Then, we can go to Brazil or Havana or maybe Europe.%u201d%u201cYou are right, but we need more food to eat for the other sixteen men when we build the ship,%u201d says the Spanish.I nod and say, %u201cSo, we should catch more goats and dry lots of fruit.%u201d%u201cRobinson, I think we will be a great team, but we must wait to have what we need,%u201d says the Spanish.Soon, we have lots of goats, food, dried fruit and corn. We hide all the food in my cave to keep it safe. We make baskets for the corns and cut trees to build a ship together.Now, it is time to go back to the island for the Spanish and Friday%u2019s father. So, they leave to bring the other men. We give them food and four guns in case the cannibals attack them again.Two days later, Friday wakes me up early. He tells me there%u2019s a boat at sea. I go to the nearest hill to see the boat.%u201cFriday! There is also a ship. I can see a group of people. They are not from your island. I think they are English because their ship is English ship. It is great to see Englishmen after over twenty five years old.%u201dI am anxious why they are here. Because our island is not on the way of English ships. I say, %u201cFriday, we should be careful. Keep your eyes open! They can be pirates so we should stay in the forest and watch.%u201d
