During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled    to the other side of the island (岛屿), I could see the other islands, and I said to   , “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”
So I decided    myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard   , but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think   I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and     everything, but it didn’t move. I was very   for a long time after that.
That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my    year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was    small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my   now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive.
