The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation, and the other of all the good things.

Sometimes it rained all day, so I had to stay inside. It was hard to read or write because the house was dark and I didn't have candles. Then I remembered in Africa people made lamps using the fat of animals. I did the same. They didn't give much light, but they were better than nothing.
I looked at my lists and thought, "These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation if we look for it. I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can."
I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the
roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and put my things on them. I made some furniture—two tables and a chair. They weren't very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my "kitchen".
Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about 11 o'clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and 2 o'clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and wrote about my life on the island. At 7 o'clock, I went to bed as it got dark early on the island.
