| [00:36.35] | 1 My first sea journey |
| [00:40.05] | Before I begin my story, I would like to tell you a little about myself. |
| [00:49.62] | I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York in the north of England. |
| [00:59.39] | My father was German, but he came to live and work in England. |
| [01:07.04] | Soon after that, he married my mother, who was English. |
| [01:13.22] | Her family name was Robinson, so, when I was born, they called me Robinson, after her. |
| [01:25.53] | My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. |
| [01:33.33] | He wanted me to get a good job and live a quiet, comfortable life. |
| [01:39.75] | But I didn't want that. |
| [01:42.41] | I wanted adventure and an exciting life. |
| [01:47.42] | 'I want to be a sailor and go to sea, ' I told my mother and father. |
| [01:56.08] | They were very unhappy about this. |
| [02:00.50] | 'Please don't go, ' my father said. |
| [02:04.88] | 'You won't be happy, you know. |
| [02:07.79] | Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life. ' |
| [02:13.47] | And because I loved him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea. |
| [02:22.71] | But I couldn't forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. |
| [02:31.98] | His father had a ship, and my friend said to me, |
| [02:38.52] | 'We're sailing to London tomorrow. |
| [02:42.48] | Why don't you come with us? ' |
| [02:45.85] | And so, on September 1st, 1651, I went to Hull, and the next day we sailed for London. |
| [03:00.13] | But, a few days later, there was a strong wind. |
| [03:06.48] | The sea was rough and dangerous, and the ship went up and down, up and down. |
| [03:14.98] | I was very ill, and very afraid. |
| [03:20.81] | 'Oh, I don't want to die! ' I cried. |
| [03:26.69] | 'I want to live! If I live, I'll go home and never go to sea again! ' |
| [03:37.61] | The next day the wind dropped, and the sea was quiet and beautiful again. |
| [03:45.98] | 'Well, Bob, ' my friend laughed. 'How do you feel now? The wind wasn't too bad. '“ |
| [03:55.77] | 'What! ' I cried. 'It was a terrible storm. ' |
| [04:02.44] | 'Oh, that wasn't a storm, ' my friend answered. 'Just a little wind. |
| [04:10.93] | Forget it. Come and have a drink. ' |
