  Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially (尤其) their parents, don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice (建议).

① Sometimes, I wasted a lot of time doing foolish things. I tried to make a canoe from a tree trunk (树干). I chopped down a huge tree which took me thirty-four days. It took a month to shape it into a boat and another three months to make it hollow (空心的), I was pleased to see that it was large enough to carry twenty men. I could easily take all my things with me.
② The canoe was only one hundred metres from the water, but I could not move it. It was too heavy. I thought I could dig a canal (运河) to the boat. I later worked out that it would take ten tears to dig this canal! This was too long, I thought. “I should have thought of this before I started.” ③
④ I thought how happy I would be if I could run away from the island. When I realized that I could not move the boat and get it into the water, I changed my mind. I had a very nice home. I had more than enough food. I also thought that it might be dangerous to go to the land that I had seen from the other side of the island. There were probably savage people there that might kill me and even eat me. Perhaps they were cannibals (食人族). I knew that cannibals lived in this part of the world. I decided that it was probably better to stay on the island. At least I was safe there.
—Adapted from Robinson Crusoe
