The Man on the Island

After a few moments I turned and ran away. I had to get away from the dead man and the murderer. Then I stooped running. Once again I was agraid. I knew I wasn't alone. There was someone else in the trees. It was a man, the strangest man I had ever seen. I stared at him.

The man come towards me slowly. He has long white hair and a long beard. His clothes were ragged. Who are you? I asked quietly. I was ready to run away from this strange man. I'm Ben Gunn, the man replied, and I haven't spoken to a man for three years. I was morroned. Left alone to die on this island!Wo's with you?  no one, I replied, but was with a man called Long John Silver a short time ago. I know Silver said Ben Gunn, We were on Flint's ship together. Flint's men left me here, they wanted to find the treasure. I knew here the treasure was. But I didn't know. Now, will you take me home? asked Ben gunn. I'll make you rich. I've got a boat, too. I'll show you. He said me.

I looked towards the place where Ben Gunn was pointing. But I didn't go to the boat. Suddenly there was the loud sound of a cannon shot. But it wasn't the Captain's signal to return to the Hispaniola. Why was the cannon firing? Now there was the soun of more shooting.

The pirates have begun to fight, I said. And I ran back thorugh the jungle towards the noise.
