Subject: Amazing story of a guy shipwrecked
Subject: Amazing story of a guy shipwrecked
off the coast of Mexico on his own tiny island, full of pomegranite trees and monkeys. A trader lands on the island discovers this hermit, hermit makes him the best meal he's ever had (soup fish and something else). Hermit has a parchment journal and here it is. Unfortunately since it's written in old style a lot of it is garbled on the epub some unreadable. Needs more human translation!! We need to conserve these old things for the future AND for the present. Things like this should be required reading for school children. They think in the olden days we all ate rats and never bathed etc. Even 5 year old children could read and speak Latin and Greek back then.
