Robinson Crusoe 11harmfulunsureto shootcausing harmnot be sureto fire a bullet or an arrow:::bullethilla small, metal object that is shot from a gunan area of land that is higher than the surrounding land::GlossaryIt%u2019s morning. We have bread for breakfast. Xury wants to go to the beach, and I go with him. We take guns and big bottles for water. I stay close to the boat because I want to see it. He goes alone.He runs back, and I think there%u2019s a dangerous animal behind him. But I see nothing harmful. He has a chicken in his hand. He is very happy, and so am I. I don%u2019t know exactly where we are, but I think we are near Africa, close to a place with no people. We don%u2019t see anyone, only hear animals.One day, as we go for fresh water, we see a lion sleeping on the beach. He is very big. The boy is scared, and when the lion opens his eyes and starts running towards us, I shoot. The first bullet hits the lion%u2019s leg, the second hits its head, and the third finishes the animal. We take the lion%u2019s skin. We keep travelling and only stop when we need fresh water. Soon, we see a big group of people with many children on the beach. They want to give us some food, but we%u2019re unsure how to get it. They understand and put the food on the ground. They allow us to take it. We%u2019re not scared anymore, and they come closer. We thank them, but we don%u2019t have anything to give in return.Suddenly, two wild animals come down from a hill, and one attacks a young girl. I shoot and stop the animal. The people are shocked but happy because the girl is safe. They thank us and give us more food and water.We continue our journey, and the next day, we see some islands. I think we can visit them, but the boy gets scared because he sees a ship.The boy thinks it%u2019s a pirate ship, but I see it%u2019s a Portuguese ship. I shoot to get their attention, and soon, we%u2019re on the Portuguese ship.
