Robinson Crusoe Chapter 2 Main Contents

Robinson was born in a respectable merchant family. He was eager to sail and wanted to see something overseas. He went out to sea without telling his father < P >. On his first voyage, he was caught in a big storm and his ship sank. He managed to escape. The second time I went out to sea to do business in Africa, I made a fortune. The third time, he was unfortunately captured by the Moors and became a slave. Later, he rowed his master's boat to escape, and was rescued by a Portuguese cargo ship on the way. After the ship arrived in Brazil, he bought a manor there and became the owner of the manor. Not content to get rich like this, he went out to sea again and sold slaves in Africa.

The ship was hit by a storm on the way, and all the sailors and passengers on board were killed. Only Robinson survived and drifted to a lonely island. He made a raft from the mast of the sunken ship, transported the food, clothes,

guns, ammunition and tools from the ship to the shore again and again, and set up a tent on the hillside to settle down. Then he put a fence around the tent with sharpened stakes and dug a hole behind the tent to live. He used simple tools to make tables, chairs and other furniture, hunted game for food, and < P > drank the water from the stream, which overcame the initial difficulties.

He began to plant barley and rice on the island, made his own wooden mortar, pestle and sieve, processed flour, and baked rough bread. He captured and domesticated wild goats and made them reproduce. He also made pottery and so on to ensure his own needs.

Even so, Robinson has never given up looking for a way to leave the island. He cut down a big tree, and it took five or six months

to make a canoe, but the boat was too heavy to be dragged into the sea, so he had to give up all previous efforts and build a new one

.

After Robinson lived alone on the island for 17 years, one day, he found that the coast of the island was covered with human bones, which had been burnt. A group of savages who had come to other islands had held a human flesh feast here. Robinson was amazed. Since then, he has been on the alert,

paying more attention to things around him. Until the 24th year, another group of savages came to the island, with prisoners ready to kill and eat.

Robinson found out and rescued one of them. Robinson named the rescued natives "Friday". Since then,

"Friday" has become Robinson's loyal servant and friend. Then, Robinson took "Friday" and rescued a Spanish

class tooth man and "Friday's father. Soon an English ship docked near the island, and the sailors on board made trouble and abandoned the captain and other three people on the island. Robinson and "Friday" helped the captain subdue the sailors and recapture the ship. He left the < P > sailors on the island and left the desert island with Friday and the captain to return to England. At this time, Robinson had been away from home for

35 years. He got married in England and had three children. After the death of his wife, Robinson once again went to sea for business, passing through the desert island where he lived. At this time, the sailors and Spaniards who stayed on the island had settled down and thrived. Robinson sent new immigrants,

gave them the land on the island and left them with all kinds of daily necessities, and left the island with satisfaction.
