Robinson Crusoe, Chapter four. A new friend. I didn't die that day in 16 60 but I felt very different about life. After that, I saw that life is a gift. It's easy to die on an island when you are alone. There is no medicine. There is no one to help you. I learned new things all the time. The best month to start my vegetable garden was in February because it rained in March and April. I made plates and cups from wind or coconut shells. It felt like I was the only man on this earth and I had to learn everything by myself. The biggest problem was that I wanted to talk to someone. Then something wonderful happened. Paul and I went for a walk. One day through the forest. I heard a bird flying around my head and I saw that it was a parrot. It's more green parrot with the yellow feathers on top of its head. Hello. Hello. It talks. It talks. Paul. It talks. It talks. It talks. That little bird made me laugh, and I was so happy to have a new friend every day. I tried to teach it a new word. After several years, we could almost have a dialogue. I came back to our tent in the morning after a swim in the sea and we had conversations like this. What should we have for breakfast? Fruit and milk, Fruit and milk. And what do you want for breakfast? Nuts. Nuts? You see Poem? He knows what he wants. Stupid pole. Stupid poem. Paul barked when the bird said this. I didn't want to teach him that. But he heard me say it and he remembered it. I talked to Paul and the parrot like they were people. It made me feel very good. But there was still something missing. I still wanted to see another person. I made a small boat from a tree, but the sea was too dangerous, so I stayed close to the island. The island I was on was large. I found many new beaches and many new kinds of fruits from the with the boat. And that's when I saw the food prince. Someone else was on the island, but I didn't know if they were friendly or not.
