On entering our plantation of fruit-trees forming the avenue to Falcon's Stream, we observed that they had not a vigorous appearance, and that they inclined to curve a little in the stalk: we therefore resolved to support them with sticks, and I proposed to walk to the vicinity of Cape Disappointment, for the purpose of cutting some bamboos... #story #kidsstories AcreSoft Story Classic

On the following day, my wife and the boys importuned me to begin my manufactory of candles: I therefore set myself to recollect all I had read on the subject. I soon perceived that I should be at a loss for a little fat to mix with the wax... #story #kidsstories AcreSoft Story Classic

My first thought the next morning was to fetch the sledge from the wood. I had a double motive for leaving it there, which I had refrained from explaining to my wife, to avoid giving her uneasiness. I had formed a wish to penetrate a little farther into the land, and ascertain whether anything useful would present itself beyond the wall of rocks. I was, besides, desirous to be better acquainted wi...

I recommended to my sons to resume the exercise of the shooting of arrows; for I had an extreme solicitude about their preserving and increasing their bodily strength and agility. Nothing tends more to the extinction of personal courage in a human being, than the consciousness of wanting that strength of limb, or that address which may be necessary to aid us in defending ourselves, or in escaping...

From the time of discovering the pinnace, my desire of returning to the vessel grew every moment more irresistible; but one thing I saw was absolutely necessary which was, to collect all my hands to get her out from the situation where we had found her. I therefore thought of taking with me the three boys: I even wished that my wife should accompany us; but she had been seized with such a horror o...

I rose before day to go to the sea-side and inspect our two vessels. I gently descended the ladder without awakening my family. Above, the scene was all repose: below, everything was in life and motion. The dogs jumped about me, the cock and the hens flapped their wings and chuckled, and our goats shook their long beards as they browsed... #story #audiobook AcreSoft Story Classic

The wind was favorable, and briskly swelled our sail. The sea was calm, and we advanced at a considerable rate. Fritz had for some time fixed his eyes on something of a large size which was floating on the water, and he now desired me to take the glass, and see what it could be. I soon perceived that it was a tortoise, which had fallen asleep in the sun on the surface of the water. No sooner had F...

I rose with the first crowing of the cock, descended the ladder, and set about skinning the kangaroo, taking care not to deface its beautiful smooth coat. Our dogs relished theii meal on the entrails of the animal so much, that they intended themselves the pleasure of a breakfast on the carcass. Before I could descend they had got off ils head, as it hung by the hind feet, and, half friends, half...

At the moment of departure, Fritz presented his brother and myself with a case of his own workmanship, which he stuck into our belts, and which, in reality, were well contrived for holding spoons, and knives and forks, while room was left in the middle for a little hatchet. I praised Fritz for having thus brought his idea to perfection, and for contriving to make two cases with his skin instead of...

I had observed along the shore many pieces of wood, of which I thought I could make a kind of conveyance for our cask of butter and other provisions from Tent-House to Falcon's Stream, and had secretly determined to go early the next morning, before my family should be awake, to the spot. I had fixed upon Ernest for my assistant, thinking that his indo- lent temper required to be stimulated to exe...

Conversing on different subjects, we reached the long chain of rocks, over which our pretty Falcon Stream made its escape in a cascade, delighting at once the eye and the ear in its progress. We thus reached Jackal's River, and from thence to Tent-House, having with difficulty pushed through the high grass which presented itself. Our fatigue, however, was... #story #kidsstories AcreSoft Story Clas...

Jack had finished the trial of his arrows: they flew to admiration; and he practised his new art incessantly. Little Francis waited with impatience for the moment when he should try also, and followed with his eyes every stroke I made. But when I had finished my bow, and prepared some little arrows for him, I must next undertake to make him a quiver; I took some bark from the branch of a tree, whi...

I HAD thought it necessary to keep watch during this first night. Every leaf that stirred gave me the apprehension that it was the approach of a jackal or a tiger, who might attack us. As soon as one of the heaps was consumed, I lighted another ; and at length, finding that no animal appeared, I by aegrees became assured and fell into a sound sleep. The next morning we took our breakfast, and fell...

The 10th chapter in the story of The Swiss Family Robinson. Our repast ended, I observed to my wife that we should be obliged to pass the night on the ground. I desired her to begin preparing the harness for the animals, that they might go to the sea-shore, and fetch pieces of wood, or other articles which might be useful to us. I, in the meantime, set about suspending our hammocks to some of the...

As soon as we were up and had breakfasted, the next room- ing, I assembled all the members of my family together, to take with them a solemn farewell of this our first place of reception from the awful disaster of the shipwreck. I confess that for my own part I could not leave it without regret ; it was a place of greater safety than we were likely again to meet with ; it was also nearer to the ve...

The 8th chapter in the story of The Swiss Family Robinson. When my wife and I awakened the next morning, we resumed the question of our change of abode. I observed to her, that it was a matter of difficulty, and that we might have reason to repent such a step. "My own opinion is," said I, " that we had better remain here, where Providence seems to have conducted us; the place is favorable to our p...

" You pretend," said my wife, with a little malicious smile, "to be curious about my history, yet you have not let me speak a single word in all this time ; but the longer a torrent is pent up, the longer it flows when once let loose. Now then that Tou are in the humor to listen, I shall give vent to a certain little movement of vanity which is fluttering at my heart.—Not, however, to intrude too...

Early the next morning, though scarcely light, I mounted the vessel, hoping to gain a sight of our beloved companions through a telescope. Fritz prepared a substantial breakfast of biscuit and ham ; but before we sat down, we recollected that in the captain's cabin we had seen a telescope of much superior size and power, and we speedily conveyed it to the deck. While this was doing, the brightness...

This episode is from The Swiss Family Robinson Chapter 5. I broke a silence of some moments, with observing to my wife, that I could not but view with alarm the many cares, and exertions to be made ! —" In the first place, a journey to the vessel. This is of absolute necessity ; at least, if we would not be deprived of the cattle and other useful things, all of which... #kidsstories #audiobook Acr...
