The Daily Routine of Our Family
Since we started to live in the house in the tree, it's been raining very often.
Sometimes two or three times a day.
Sometimes it seems that all the water in the world is falling upon us.
But it only rains a very short time.
It immediately clears up.
Look! Just a sudden downpour.
It stopped!
- Flone, wait a moment, please. - What is it?
Dad wants to tell everyone something.
- But it just cleared up. - You can leave when we've finished talking.
Okay.
I want to talk to you about the life we'll lead here from now on.
First of all, everyone must be fully aware of the situation we find ourselves in.
Since we finished the construction of this house,
we don't have to worry about seeking shelter.
We can sleep peacefully here.
Now we don't have to take turns to stand watch each night and that's good.
And then there's our food.
The supplies that we brought from the boat are almost gone.
Does that mean that we can't eat bread?
That's right.
We only have flour to make bread for the next tree or four days.
That's awful.
From now on, we can only eat what we can find on this island.
That's fine by me. I really like coconuts!
But if you eat nothing but coconuts everyday, you'll get sick of them.
Furthermore, coconuts don't have enough nutrients.
We have other vegetables that are edible,
who have potential if properly cooked, but the problem is protein.
We can look for clams.
That's true. Since we're close to the sea, we'll catch fish!
Then I'll go fishing everyday.
- Flone, you can only catch lobsters. - That's not fair!
Flone, don't get ahead of yourself.
Your father will decide what each of you will do.
Oh! Great! I loved to do school homework.
You're such a braggart!
Then, as Franz and Flone suggested, they will do the fishing.
If there are carnivores like the wolves on this island,
there will also be other animals on the island.
We must find out what animals there are and then hunt them.
- I wonder what kind of animals we'll find. - I have a good idea, too.
- Can I tell you about it? - Of course. Please tell us.
It's not the best time, but I want to prepare a vegetable field.
- A vegetable field? - Yes, a vegetable field.
- But Mom, what are you going to plant? - Beans, wheat and corn.
Eh?
What about seeds?
I brought some seeds that I wanted to plant when I got to Australia.
That's great, let's get to work right away.
The climate here is mild and it rains a lot. The plants will grow quickly.
I agree!
Now I really feel like this is our island.
Where do we prepare the field? By the mountain or near the sea?
Or should we use the whole island as a field?
Now, Flone. Calm down.
Okay.
This doesn't mean that we'll spend the rest of our lives on this island.
I want us to return to an inhabited place soon.
- You don't want to stay here forever, right? - Of course!
I don't want Jack and me to become old with no one else around.
I shudder just thinking about it!
However, we must devise a way to leave this island.
Father, let's build a boat!
Yes, but I don't think we can build a boat big enough to hold us
and the supplies necessary for such a long journey.
I don't think it's possible to build such a boat either,
but we can build a small boat.
That way we would learn the technique and we can use it when fishing.
That's right, Dad!
You're right. Let's try doing it.
I propose we do this:
We will build a boat, but with our skills, it will take a long time.
And before that happens, it's possible that a boat might pass this island.
Isn't this island outside the shipping routes?
I'm certain about that. So far, we haven't seen any ships.
I know, but even if that's true, we can not discard any hope.
It's possible that a ship may stray off its route and come close to this island.
- We can't place too much hope in that. - Yes, we can't expect such luck!
But just think about it. Wasn't it just pure luck that we came to this island?
That was something no one could foresee. We hadn't even thought of it.
But it really happened.
If you think about it, the opposite could have happened.
That is, we shouldn't underestimate luck or coincidence.
That's true. If you think like that, anything is possible.
That's why, starting tomorrow, we will establish a daily routine.
First, when we get up early in the morning,
When I wake up in the morning,
my first task is to change the wood pieces that mark the days on our calendar.
Up until now, Mom was the one who wrote the calendar,
but starting today, in order to
let everyone know right away, I will put up these pieces of wood.
That's strange, the six is missing.
Ah, I know who the suspect is.
Mercre!
I knew it was you. You shouldn't do that!
This is your bed, you know.
You shouldn't put this here!
Okay, that's it.
Mom goes to fetch water at the stream and prepares food.
Dad and Franz get up earlier than me and go hunting before breakfast.
But they seem to have little success.
Did I hit it?
- I hit it! I really hit it! - Good, Franz! Congratulations!
John!
- John! - John!
John isn't a hunting dog. He doesn't know what to do. Come on.
John, what are you doing? Why don't you bring it here?
John wasn't able to bring this.
Welcome back!
Oh, no. We're having this again?
Huh? What's this?
What do you think?
- But what is it? - I found these near the waterfall.
From the shape, I thought they were potatoes.
It has a really strange taste.
I know it has a distinctive taste, but stop making faces.
Mercre, come and eat this.
Huh?
That's weird.
Oh! What an awful taste!
They didn't taste like this when they were freshly boiled!
It's no wonder even Mercre refused to eat it.
It tastes really bad.
I see!
After breakfast, we have to study.
Who had the idea of adding studies in the daily routine?
Why did they have to bring textbooks?
Instead of those books, it would have been better to bring more food.
- I want to eat cheese. - I want to eat cheese, too.
Jack, don't get distracted and sort the numbers correctly.
This is wrong, see? After 6 comes 7.
Now read them all out loud.
One, two, three, four, five, six, um... seven...
And next?
Flone! Flone Robinson!
- Flone! - Yes!
Flone.
Flone! Flone!
- Oh, it's you, Franz. - What do you mean, "It's you, Franz"?
- Have you read the three pages? - Yes.
Now I'll quiz you. Tell me what countries surround Switzerland.
Umm...
France, Germany, Austria and... Italy.
And now, tell me the top three industries that Switzerland has.
- Flone! - Yes.
Franz is so strict. I hate this!
As we are studying, Dad and Mom are working on clearing a field.
Do you think this is enough?
Yes, since we don't have many types of seeds, I think we should be satisfied.
What do we do with the grass and the branches?
Should we clear them away?
No, just leave them where they are.
But with this lying around, we won't be able to sow.
- Don't worry, I know a foolproof method. - Eh?
As far as crops are concerned,
it seems that Mom is the master and Dad is the student.
The daily evening routine consists of going to the Cape
to see if some ship passes.
It's very boring to watch for such a long time,
but it's always better than doing homework.
Our pile of stones didn't stand out, so we planted a flag on top of it.
This is an inspection, Flone. Are the logs dry?
Yes, they're fine.
What about the grass?
Yes, everything's in order.
And the matches?
- In perfect condition. - Very well!
The only things you can see are the blue sea and white clouds.
There is neither a boat nor a single leaf floating out there.
I don't think there will be any ships.
I wonder how we would feel if we would happen to see one one day?
I believe that I would cry.
I'm beginning to feel sleepy.
What?
Hurry! Take off your clothes!
Really...
It's like taking a shower.
- Hooray! Hooray! - How nice!
Hooray! How nice!
Hooray!
- Oh, it stopped already. - What a shame.
It got wet, after all
The next day we covered the fire wood.
Franz, there's smoke.
What can it be? Let's go see!
Dad, what's going on here?
Ask your mother, I don't know anything about it.
Mom! It might all catch on fire!
- It's all right. - But...
- But with all those sparks! - Are you sure it's all right, Anna?
Yes. Now, we must hurry and take refuge under that tree.
- And what do we do here? - Extinguish the fire.
- What? Extinguish the fire? - Yes.
How do we do that?
Just wait a little bit longer.
Oh!
It's raining!
Mom, you're amazing. How did you know it was going to rain?
Farmers can predict the weather
by taking note of the wind direction, and shape of the clouds.
Since I was a child, I've been able to see what the weather will be by looking at the sky.
I didn't know you had this hidden talent.
Of course you didn't know. I didn't need those skills in Bern.
I never thought that the knowledge I gained as a girl would serve me here.
Now you must all give me a hand.
- What shall we do? - We will sow seeds.
How can we sow seeds? We haven't cleared the field.
Yes, you have. This is our field.
On this piece of charred land?
This is called slash and burn agriculture. It's an old method.
- Is this okay? - Yes, it's perfect.
- Franz, let's hurry and start sowing. - Yes.
- Let's start! - I'm ready.
- Mom, I want to sow, too. - Okay, you can help Flone to sow.
Yes! Flone!
And so the days passed quietly, and all of us performed our daily routine.
Mom went to the field everyday to see if the first buds had appeared.
And then, finally...
Dear! Dear!
The field! Come see the field! They have sprouted!
- There are so many! - How beautiful!
- You did it, Anna. - Yes!
However...
something terrible happened!
Go away!
The field that we prepared with so much effort is vandalized, and Mom is discouraged.
So we start planning strategies to protect us from them.
Next time: Mother's Field
Please look forward to it!
