And so my life went on. Every month I learnt to do or to make something new， but I also had troubles along the way. Once there was a terrible storm with heavy rain. The roof of my cave fell in， and nearly killed me！ I had to build it up again with many pieces of wood.

I had a lot of food now. I cooked it over a fire or dried it under the sun. So I always had enough meat during the rainy months when I could not go out with a gun. I even learnt to make pots to store my food. But my goal was to make a harder， stronger pot-a pot that would not break in a fire. I tried many times， but I could not make it until one day I was lucky. I made some new pots and put them in a very hot fire. They changed colour but remained unbroken. I left them there for many hours， and when they had cooled down， I found that they had become hard and strong. That night I was very happy， as I had hot water for the first time on the island.

By then， I also had my own bread. That was lucky， too. One day I found a little bag. We used it on the ship to store the chickens’ food. There was still some of the food in the bag， and I dropped some of it onto the ground. A month later， I saw something bright green there， and after six months， I had a small cornfield. I was very excited. Perhaps now， I could finally bake my own bread！

It was easier said than done. It is still a lot of work to make bread from corn. Many people eat bread， but how many can take corn from a field and make bread out of it without help？ I had to learn and to make many new things， and it took me a year before I cooked and ate my first bread.
