Once, four people went to catch fishes by boat. The first two days, they were very happy because they caught so many fishes. On the third day, unfortunately, they met a terrible storm. The boat sank into the sea. All of them died except Simon. He held a piece of wood and finally Landed on a small island. There was nobody living on the island. Every day, he stood by the sea, hoping a ship could pass by and save him. As days went by, nothing happened.

Simon felt exhausted. He tried his best to build a very simple house because he wanted to keep the cold and rain out. One day, he went out to look for food.
