Man Friday Man Friday For two years I never went anywhere Metal halide lamps without my gun. I felt lonely and afraid，and had many sleepless nights. One night there was a very bad storm，and I thought I heard the sound of guns out at sea. The next morning I looked out，and saw a ship. It was lying on its side not far from the shore. Quickly，I put my little boat in the water and sailed out to it.

There were two dead men on the ship，but no one alive. The bodies of the other sailors were lost in the sea. I took some clothes and tools，and also a box of Spanish gold and silver money. I was a rich man now，but what use was money to me？I could not buy anything with it.

I wanted people，a friend，somebody to talk to…somebody who could help me escape from my island. One morning I woke up and made a plan. ‘I'll try to catch one of the prisoners of the wild men，’I said#x to myself. ‘He'll be happy to be alive and perhaps he'll help me to escape. ’I watched day and night,Diamond tools，but for a year and a half there were no boats.

Then one day five boats came. There were about thirty men and they had two prisoners. They made their fire on the sand and danced round it. Then they killed one of the prisoners and began to cook their terrible meal. The second prisoner waited under the trees，with two men to watch him. Suddenly，the prisoner turned and ran. The two men ran after him，but the other wild men were busy round the fire and did not see what was happening.

The prisoner ran like a wild goat，and soon I saw that Metal halide lampshe was coming near the bottom of my hill. As fast as I could，I ran down the hill and jumped out of the trees between the prisoner and the two wild men. I hit the first man with the wooden end of my gun and he fell down，but I had to shoot the second man. The poor prisoner did not move. He was afraid of the noise of my gun.

I called to him and tried to show him that I was friendly. Slowly，he moved nearer to me，but just then the first wild man began to get up from the ground. Then the prisoner spoke and I understood that he wanted my sword. How happy I was to hear words again！I gave him my sword，and at once he cut off the head of his enemy.

Hurriedly，we hid the dead bodies under some leaves，and then left quickly. I took my prisoner to my secret cave on the other side of the island and gave him food and drink. After that，he went to sleep.

He was a fine young man，about twenty-five years old，tall and well－built，with a kind face and a nice smile. He had a brown skin，black hair，bright eyes and strong white teeth. I decided to give him the name of‘Man Friday’，because I first saw him on a Friday.

When he woke up in the morning，he ran out to me#x. I was milking my goats in the field，Metal halide lampsand he got down on the ground and put his head near my foot. I understood that he was thank－ing me，and I tried to show him that I was his friend. 相关的主题文章：
