There is always someone to talk, but we have a small problem. Friday doesn%u2019t know my language, and I don%u2019t know his. I begin to teach him some simple words, %u201chi,%u201d %u201chello,%u201d %u201cbye,%u201d and %u201cthank you.%u201dWe decide to make soup together. I cook, and Friday goes to the forest to bring some herbs. He adds them to the soup, and it smells and tastes great. We also make my corn field bigger to grow more corn. Friday is a great helper in all our activities, and we work well together. He is also good at catching fish.Friday is a very successful and clever student. He learns quickly. He starts to understand many sentences and begins using some words. I am just happy to have someone to talk to.He is curious about my tools, especially the telescope, which he often borrows to observe the surroundings from a hill.%u201cHey Friday, have you ever seen a telescope before?%u201d%u201cNo, I have never seen.%u201d%u201cYou can use it to see things far away. Look through this end.%u201d%u201c Wow, amazing! What can I see?%u201d%u201c You can see the hills, trees, and even faraway things. Try it!He looks through the telescope. %u201cOh, this is incredible! Thank you, Master.%u201d%u201cYou%u2019re welcome, Friday. You can take it anytime you want.%u201d%u201cReally? Thank you, I want to see everything from that hill!%u201dWhen I trust Friday more, I want to teach him how to use a gun and give him a knife and belt to save himself.%u201cNow, let me teach you how to use a gun. Hold it like this and aim. Bang! Just like that.%u201d%u201c Bang! I got it, Master!%u201d%u201cGood job, Friday! And look, I have a knife and a belt for you. Now you can be like a real explorer!
