Robinson Crusoe Discovers a Footprint ( Reading Comprehension )

ROBINSON CRUSOE DISCOVERS A FOOTPRINT | CLASS 5 | ENGLISH | READING COMPREHENSION


Passage 1

One day, when I was going towards my boat, I was surprised to see the footprint of a man on the sand. I stood amazed! I listened; I looked around me; I could neither hear nor see anything. I went up higher to look down; I went up the shore and down the shore, but it was no good; I could find no other footprint but that one. I went to it again to see if there were any more footprints and to tell if it had been my imagination. But I was not mistaken, for there was exactly the print of a foot – toes, heel, every part of a foot. I could not imagine how it came there.

When I came to my cave (which I called my castle), I ran inside it, as if I was being chased. I do not remember whether I used the ladder or went in by the hole in the rock, which I called the door. I ran for cover, faster than any animal could run.
