During all this time, I never stopped thinking about escape(逃跑). When I travelled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe(獨(dú)木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think carefully before I began to work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.

In my sixth year on the island, I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.

I kept food and tools at both of my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so, many years went by.

At that time, I was a teacher of a primary school. One day, my students were going to have a class, but Duane still there.

Duane was a clever and lovely boy, but he didn’t have a happy family. His mother liked drinking and hardly had time to him. Thinking that maybe he had a bad night, I walked over to ask what was the matter. As he looked at me, I could see he seemed .

“Mrs Brown, don’t you want to open my gift?” he asked. “I put it on your .”

As I looked at my desk, I found a small box covered with colorful paper. I had only been a teacher for three months, I had learned how to a student to explain a picture, but now, a gift. So I asked Duane to tell me about the gift. Duane said that inside the box I would find two good gems (珍寶). When I opened the box, I was that there were two beer caps in it. Duane told me that they were two earrings (耳環(huán)). He found that I never earrings and wanted me to have some pretty ones.

Taboos (禁忌) of different people’s culture

A taboo (忌諱，禁忌) is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has its own taboos. The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I learned this through my own experience.

Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners (外國(guó)人) around our city. Mr Singh was from India and Mr. White from USA. When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr. Singh seemed to be unhappy. Mr. White, however, was quite casual (隨意). He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand.

In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn’t touch the beef and Mr. White seemed not to like chickens’ claws (爪). During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and continued to explain that we didn’t know it was a taboo in India to shake one’s left hand. Mr. Singh explained that since oxen (牛) are sacred (神圣的) in India, people don’t eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that it was not usual in the USA for people to eat chickens’ claws. He went on to say that Americans don’t usually get into each other’s personal (私人的) space. Marriage, job and age are their taboos. Isn’t it a good lesson to remember?
