Robinson's father was counting on his son to study law, but Robinson had his heart set on sailing. One day, when Robinson went to Hull, one of his companions was going to London on his father's ship, and he was so impressed that he followed - this was in August, 1651, when he was nineteen years old. No sooner had the ship sailed out of the mouth of the sea than she encountered a terrible storm, which made him feel inexpressibly sad all over, and very fearful in his heart. In his agony he vowed, if God would leave him alive on this voyage, that after he had got on land he would remain by the side of his loving parents, and would henceforth obey their advice. But the next day the wind ceased, and the waves rested. The sun was sinking in the west, and there followed a beautiful and lovely dusk, when, after drinking a bowl of sweet wine made by his companion, he threw into the air his determination to return home after this voyage.

2. The second voyage. The second voyage to Africa for business made a fortune.

3. Third voyage. In going to Africa to do business in Guinea, Robinson was captured by a Turkish pirate ship, was sold into slavery, and then he rowed his master's boat to escape, on the way to be saved by a Portuguese freighter, escaped to Brazil, where he ran a sugar cane plantation alone, when the owner of the estate. Life went well.

4. The Fourth Voyage Upon the Pestle

Brazil because of the lack of labor, there are a few plantation owners know that Robinson had to do business in Africa for some slave market ports, they tried to coax him to make a voyage to that area to buy some black slaves for their plantations back. Their ship hit a reef on an unnamed island off the north coast of South America, and all the sailors and passengers drowned, except for him, who was swept ashore by the high waves and saved his life.

5. The first planting of barley and rice was a failure

There was much more that needed to be done to ensure that he would survive on the island. Robinson did as many of the things he had to do one after the other as he could. But his efforts did not always meet with good fortune. The first time he sowed seeds of barley and rice, half of this valuable stock was wasted, because it was not sown at the right time.

6. Digging cellars and building a mortar for pounding wheat

Robinson labored for months to dig cellars for storing fresh water. It took forty-two days to chop a large tree into the first long plank. He worked energetically for weeks to create a stone mortar for pounding wheat, but in the end had to hollow out a large chunk of wood.

7. The First Failure to Build a Boat

Robinson spent five months chopping down a large ironwood tree, and splitting and whittling it into a decent canoe, which he used to escape from the island, but which he had to abandon because it was too big to get down to the sea. Still, each failure taught him something he had not known before.

8. Robinson makes pottery

Out of necessity, Robinson set about making pottery. After finding the clay, he made countless trials. At first, some were not finished because the clay was too soft, and some burst because the temperature was too high. After fumbling around for more than two months, he finally made two large tiles and many smaller vessels, but still did not have any clay pots that could hold fluid and stand up to being cooked over a fire. A chance discovery that some of the broken clay vessels had been burned as hard as stone led Robinson to work on the fire for burning pottery, and finally three tile pots and two jars were made, one of which was just what Robinson needed most.

9. The First Discovery of Human Footprints

One day, Robinson stumbled upon the bare footprints of a man on the beach. It was as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. He listened and looked around, but he heard nothing and saw nothing. He ran to the shore and even went down to the sea to check it out, but there was always **** just that one footprint! He was so frightened that he fled back to his lodgings like a man being followed and hunted. For three days and three nights in a row, he didn't dare to go out.

10. Rescuing Friday

One morning Robinson looked through his telescope and saw thirty savages dancing around a campfire. They had already cooked one of the prisoners, and two more were about to be roasted on the fire. Robinson ran down the hill toward them with two loaded smoothbore rifles and the big knife, killed two savages, and saved one of the prisoners in time. Robinson named the man he saved "Friday" in honor of the day the savages were rescued. "Friday" in Robinson's teaching, soon learned to dress, shoot, speak English, believe in Christ ...... become Robinson's most loyal servants and friends.

11. Robinson and Friday built a wooden boat

In order to get to the mainland across the island, Robinson wanted to build a canoe with Friday. Because of his eagerness to build a boat, he started working on it without giving it much thought. As a result, the canoe, which took months to hew out of a large cypress tree, was too big and was abandoned. After a few years, Robinson learned his lesson and cut a smaller canoe along the river, installed a mast and sails, and cut slots inside the canoe to hold things. But because the canoe was so small, Robinson was not able to travel in it to the opposite continent, and had to use it nearby.

12. Saving Friday's Father

Just as Robinson and Friday were making the boat ready and almost ready to sail, twenty-one savages came to the island in three canoes with three prisoners. They had come to the island to give a feast. One of the prisoners was a white man, and this infuriated Robinson. He loaded two birdshot, four smoothbore rifles, and two pistols with double ammunition, gave "Friday" a small axe, and gave him a lot of sugar-cane wine to drink, and taking his own big knife with him, he rushed down the mountain, and killed all the savages, but only escaped with four savages. Only four savages escaped. One of the captives was the father of Friday.

13. Leaving the island

Robinson gave the white man and Friday's father guns and food, and told them to take a newly built boat to bring the sailors who had been shipwrecked on the Spanish ship to the island. While waiting for their return, an English ship anchored off his desert island because of a disturbance by the sailors. Robinson helped that captain recapture the ship and returned to England with the captain. They took with them two honest sailors who also wanted to go back to England, and left some of the sailors who had made the most trouble on the island. Later, the Spaniards came back and stayed on the island. At first they quarreled and quarreled on both sides, but after settling down, they finally established a thriving colony.

After a few years, Robinson visited that island once more.

14. Back to England

Robinson had been on the island for twenty-eight years, two months, and twenty-nine days when he left it. Robinson always thought he would be overjoyed once he arrived in England, but he did not realize that he was a stranger there. Both his parents were dead, and he regretted that he was unable to fulfill his filial duties. For he had twenty thousand pounds waiting for him to collect from an honest friend, a Portuguese captain, besides the twelve hundred gold pieces he had taken from that Spanish ship. Before he went on that ill-fated errand, he entrusted the captain with the running of Robinson's estate in Brazil. Seeing the captain so honest, Robinson was very happy, decided to pay him a hundred Portuguese gold coins a year, and after the captain died every year to pay his son fifty Portuguese gold coins, as their life-long allowance.
