I’m writing a report for school about a real-life hero. Larry: Who did you choose? Pam: Well, the teacher said it must be an ordinary person, not a famous actor, musician or athlete. So I chose Brendon Grimshaw. Larry: Brendon Grimshaw? Who’s that? Pam: He was a man from England. He wanted to start a new life, so he bought an island in the Indian Ocean and went to live there when he was 47 years old. He lived there for about 40 years. Larry: When did he die? Pam: In 2012. He was almost 87 years old. Larry: Almost 87, wow! Tell me more. What’s the name of the island? Pam: It’s Moyenne Island. It’s in the Seychelles and it’s a tiny island. Larry: What was Grimshaw like? Pam: Well, I think he was very adventurous, because there weren’t any people or houses on the island. Then, Grimshaw brought a man to the island to help him. Larry: What was his name? Pam: His name was Rene Lafortune. The two men worked hard and the island became a beautiful place to live. Larry: What did they do? Pam: They brought trees and animals to the island. There weren’t any birds on the island when Grimshaw arrived, so he brought ten birds. At first, they flew away, but he gave them food and they came back. Soon, more birds came. →
