[00:00.41] | 3 The storm and the shipwreck |
[00:06.54] | I stayed in Brazil and worked hard for some years. |
[00:14.73] | By then I was rich…but also bored. |
[00:20.82] | One day some friends came to me and said, |
[00:26.35] | 'We're going to Africa to do business. |
[00:30.62] | Why don't you come with us?We'll all be rich after this journey!' |
[00:36.98] | How stupid I was!I had an easy,comfortable life in Brazil, |
[00:45.31] | But,of course,I agreed.And so,in 1659,I went to sea again. |
[00:55.04] | At first,all went well,but then there was a terrible storm. |
[01:04.42] | For twelve days the wind and the rain didn't stop. |
[01:09.77] | We lost three men in the sea,and soon the ship had holes in its sides. |
[01:17.27] | 'We're all going to die this time,' |
[01:21.78] | I said to myself.Then one morning one of the sailors saw land, |
[01:30.77] | But the next minute our ship hit some sand just under the sea. |
[01:38.12] | The ship could not move and we were really in danger now. |
[01:45.93] | The sea was trying to break the ship into pieces,and we had very little time. |
[01:53.27] | Quickly,we put a boat into the sea and got off the ship. |
[01:59.07] | But the sea was very rough |
[02:02.01] | And our little boat could not live for long in that wild water. |
[02:07.46] | Half an hour later the angry sea turned our boat over and we were all in the water. |
[02:17.41] | I looked round for my friends,but I could see nobody.I was alone. |
[02:25.33] | That day I was lucky,and the sea carried me to the shore. |
[02:33.09] | I could not see the land,only mountains of water all around me. |
[02:40.57] | Then,suddenly,I felt the ground under my feet. |
[02:46.43] | Another mountain of water came,pushed me up the beach, |
[02:51.72] | And I fell on the wet sand. |
[02:55.16] | At first I was very thankful to be alive. |
[03:01.22] | Slowly,I got to my feet and went higher up the shore. |
[03:06.74] | From there,I looked out to sea. |
[03:11.19] | I could see our ship,but it was wrecked and there was nobody near it. |
[03:17.77] | There was nobody in the water.All my friends were dead. |
[03:23.97] | I was alive,but in a strange wild country,with no food,no water,and no gun. |
[03:36.58] | It was dark now and I was tired.I was afraid to sleep on the shore. |
[03:45.78] | Perhaps there were wild animals there. |
[03:49.54] | So I went up into a tree and I stayed there all night. |
