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.

Passage 2
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.
I did not sleep that night. The more I thought about what I had seen, the
more afraid I became. I thought it could be one of the savages of the mainland
who had wandered out to the see, in a small boat.
