    Summary
    Robinson Crusoe is a person who loves adventures. Unfortunately, after a
    shipwreck, he had to live alone in a deserted island. During lonely years, he had to
    grow plants, raise animals and make friends with wild animals. More years pass
    and Crusoe discovers native cannibals, who occasionally visit the island to kill
    and eat prisoners. At first, he plans to kill them for committing an abomination but
    later realizes he has no right to do so, as the cannibals do not knowingly commit a
    crime. He dreams of obtaining one or two servants by freeing some prisoners;
    when a prisoner escapes, Crusoe helps him, naming his new companion "Friday".
    Crusoe then teaches him English and gives him some clothes. Then, Crusoe and
    Friday discover the tokens of the triumphant feast.
