In the late Spring and Autumn perid, in the State f Qi, there Was a high fficer called Yanzi.He was the mst imprtant man in the cuntry, 26 he never lked dwn n thers. 26 He was a kind man and was always plite.
One day Yanzi met a tall and strng man called Lv Cheng. Lv was gd at driving hrses, s Yanzi made him his 27 . Lv Cheng was very happy. He sat prudly （骄傲地）at the frnt, 28 at the fur hrses t g faster. He shuted at peple t get ut f his 29 . He felt very pleased with himself
When Lv 30 hme that evening, his wife was unhappy. "I'm ging t leave yu,^, she said. Lv was 31 and asked why. She said,uYanzi is a very imprtant man in ur cuntry, but he isn't prud. He is 32 quiet and gentle. But yu shut at the hrses and yu are 33 t peple. Yu think yu are as imprtant as Yanzi, but yu are nly his driver. That is why I have decided t 34 .”
What a shame fr Lv! Frm then n, he started t act well. Sn Yanzi nticed his 35 . After he knew what had happened, he decided t make Lv a high fficer in the State f Qi.
What will yu chse t d while yu are in truble? Cry? Or run away? Thse are the wrng ways! Rbinsn Cruse can tell yu the 36 answer!
It is an exciting 37 : Rbinsn Cruse hated the cmfrtable life in his hmetwn, and he wanted t be a seaman and travelled arund the wrld. But ne day a terrible thing 38 . A great strm came and their bat crashed! N ne was 39 in this accident except Rbinsn. He was the luckiest man in the wrld 40 thers were dead but he wasn't. Hwever, at the same time he was the mst tragic （悲惨的）man f all. He must face the 41 .
Alne n an island 42 fd, water r gun! But all rads lead t Rme （罗马）！ He just used his hands t wrk hard! Then he made a cave, built a huse, grew cm and kept gats. In the end he culd 43 the life n the island.
One day, he saved a wild man and gave him the name f "Friday". With Rbinsn's teaching, "Friday" became 日 gd servant （佣人）.Finally they gt a bat and went away frm the 44 .
We culd say that Rbinsn was very clever and he was als brave. Certainly t many gd wrds can 45 him. But nw I think it isn't imprtant. The mst imprtant thing is what we have learned frm the stry. That is, use ur wn hands t wrk hard with cnfidence!
