Friday was like a child and I taught him many things. He learnt quickly and soon he knew enough English to have a simple conversation. He was able to tell me about his people and home. I was to discover that I was in the Caribbean and that Friday's people sometimes visited my island to eat prisoners they had captured. He said that his island was not far from here. We decided that we would both go to his island soon. He told me that on his island there lived some white men who had been shipwrecked some years befor. We started to build a big boat.
