I was now in my twenty-seventh year on the island. One evening Friday went out to look for food. But soon he was back, and he looked very afraid.
"Master! Master!" he cried, "There's a great ship near the island, and men are coming to the shore in a boat!"
I jumped up and ran with him down to the shore. I saw that it was an English ship! But why was it here? English ships never came this way. Perhaps they were pirates(海盗)!"Don't let them see you, Friday!" I called, "We'll hide in the trees and watch. "
There were eleven men in the boat, but three of them were prisoners(囚犯). Their arms were tied with rope, but their legs were free and they could walk. The other sailors pushed the three prisoners up the beach, laughing and shouting and hitting them. The three prisoners walked slowly along the beach and sat down under a tree, not far from us. They looked very unhappy.
Very quietly, I came up behind them through the trees, and called out to them in English.
"Don't be afraid, "I said. "I'm an Englishman. Perhaps I can help you. "
The three men turned and looked at me. They did not answer at once. They were too surprised.
Perhaps they thought I was a wild man myself, in my strange clothes made of animals' skins, and with my long hair and beard.
Then the oldest man spoke, "I am the captain of that ship, "he said, "and these two men are my first and second officers. Last night there was a mutiny (叛乱), and the seamen took the ship from me.
Now they're going to leave the three of us here, to die on this island. "
"Do these mutineers (叛军) have guns?"
"Only two, "he answered, "and they've left those on the boat. "
"All right, "I said. "We'll fight them. But if we get your ship back for you, you must take me back to England. "
Friday ran back to my house to get all the guns, and the captain and I made a plan.
a. The three prisoners sat under a tree on the beach.
b. The writer and Friday saw a ship coming to their island.
c. The writer managed to talk with the three prisoners.
d. The mutineers took the ship from the three prisoners.

Inventions usually make a big difference to people's lives. Do you have any great inventions at home? Do they help you a lot in your life or bring you much fun? Here are some of the most useful inventions in families according to a survey.
| The most helpful and creative invention for kids is the reading pen. With the specially-designed pen, kids find it convenient and fun to learn. Little kids can learn a lot, including story-telling, poems and music. They start learning by touching the contents(内容) in the books with the pen. This way kids can learn by themselves. They are also great helpers for primary school students after school. |
