for the African coast. A violent tornado pushed the ship on the land. All the seaman abandoned the ship, and they drowned. But
Robinson went ashore at the beach. He was on an island. He swim
out to the ship and get as many things as he could. After ten month later,

day he decided to build a boat. One midday Robinson
saw a footprint in the sand, than he knew that in the other side of island
there are some savage, and they were cannibals. Robinson attack
the cannibals, and saved a person, who called Friday. Three years passed, and
Friday saw three boats. They attack the savage, and between the prisoner, there was Friday's father. One morning he saw an
English ship, and they report home Robinson with Friday.

COMMENT:
I like very much this book because it's very interest and engaging. I like it
because it's got only two characters.
