The Swiss Family Robinson

“I’d like to go back on the ship with you.”

 

This story is about Robinson family.  The family is Mom, Dad, Fritz, Ernest, Franz and Jack.　

One day, the family decided to immigrate to Australia. However, it was almost midnight when the family heard a terrible noise. There was a huge storm. Everyone was leaving the ship quickly in the little boat. In the next day, Mom noticed that there was a small island near the ship. So the family started to make a raft to take to the island.

The next morning was bright and sunny.

They found many tools to use for living, for examples, knives, blankets and book. Later, they planted many kinds of vegetables and also Mom learned to milk the cows and sheep. Thus, they lived for a year. And they made a ladder, and they made the house. The house was very beautiful. It had many different rooms, and it even had a kitchen. They felt happy to live on island.

 The years passed, Fritz was confident and strong, and he felt that he could do anything. So he decided to sail the ocean, and new island. One day, Fritz did discover a small island with a beautiful beach. Then he found a bottle with a letter inside. Fritz read the letter. After, he told to his father that there’s someone named Jenny on an island near here. Father said “I must help her.” Fritz sailed to the island…and there was jenny. Jenny was worried by her mother and father.

 After, her parents came to island, and said “Thank you for helping my daughter.” Robinson family was happy. However, they didn’t come to Australia together. Because they thought “This is our home.”

　I read this book and respected for Robinson family. If I live on the island, I don’t like the living and try to die. However, they didn’t give up and lived for a long time. I think they were so bravery.
