How To Raise My Hemoglobin

Loyalty

... - Then, Friday, you return to your village? -
He turned and looked at me with puzzled expression and I realized what I wanted to tell me [...] He made a sudden melancholy. I asked him what he had and he said
"You angry with Friday. Why? What was wrong?"
"I'm not angry with you," I said.
"No?" You're not angry? Yes, but yes "he insisted. "You send me away."
"But you said you want to go back to your village?" I asked.
"Yes, but I also told you not there and you here Friday. This I do not want, I never said this." It was clear that did not want to leave without me.
[...] "Come on, do not insist, my dear," I said. "You'll go without me. I will continue to live on this island just as before." Friday frowned, then took the hatchet from his belt that he always carried with him and I held it out.
"What should I do with it?" I asked.
"You kill Friday"
"Kill Friday, and why not?"
"Why did you send you away!" exclaimed, "You kill Friday, no send off."
He spoke so true that the carriage sprang to tears, and the sight I had the certainty of his great affection and devotion for me. [...] I went (to speak) until I had entirely reassured him (which I would not have sent him away) ...

What Does It Look Like When You Shave

Friday and "macabre party"

... Arriving at the refuge, gave him bread ,[...] in badly needed after the long ride made. When it was restored [...] He lay down immediately because he had to be exhausted, poor man, and soon fell asleep. I watched while resting and appurai that it was a young man of perhaps twenty-six, good looking, well proportioned body with strong limbs and muscles darted under the skin. [...] His name would be "Friday", because on Friday I had saved his life and wanted his name remembered that day. When we went where he had buried the two savages who had chased, Friday, I pointed to the spot where they were the cover and some identifying marks affixed by him, so that we could dig up the corpses and eat them. I showed her indignation and expressed in the most effective Naus that I took at the very thought of such a banquet .[...] we set off towards the point on the coast where the cannibals had held a feast. When we arrived I felt the blood freeze and my heart shook the horrible scene that came to my eyes: it was a dreadful spectacle, at least for me, because Friday seemed completely indifferent. the ground was littered with human bones, the sand soaked with blood, shreds of human flesh were scattered here and there, torn, Rosica, scorched. [...] Three skulls, five hands, the long bare bones of three or four legs, small and well-cleaned feet, and pieces of dismembered bodies, covered with clotted blood .[...] I realized with horror that the My unfortunate companion those pieces of meat were throat, that I gladly would not gnawed gnawed a bone at all: after all he was a cannibal and that kind of meat was used to it. [...] I showed it to prove a profound horror that his bestial desire ...

Robinson Fire and Rescue

... Here's one morning, shortly after dawn, I saw five canoes pulled up dry on the beach .[...] I was shocked, I did not understand why they had come in large group and I wondered if I could have dared to face twenty or thirty savages all together. I finally decided to play all out .[...] [...] I saw the group of savages at the time were dancing around the flame, according to their habit, and their gestures and their faces were at once grotesque and frightening. Meanwhile, some of them dragged out of a canoe two prisoners, carrying him on the beach. In an instant one of them was shot down with a powerful shot and just three bat [...] wild rush to the body of the unhappy, quartered at the end of cooking, while the other victim was left waiting for the butchers ended the first part of their task and then make the same service. "
But at that moment the hapless, desperate [...] with the impulse of those who almost died on me, suddenly jumped to the side of his tormentors and left in a mad race along the beach, heading towards the punto sottostante la mia fortezza. Confesso che mi spaventai, quando lo vidi arrivare alla mia volta [...] Tra lui e la fortezza c'era quella piccola insenatura [...] Giunto in quel punto, il poveretto avrebbe dovuto gettarsi in acqua e attraversare al cala a nuoto, altrimenti gli altri lo avrebbero raggiunto e catturato. E così fece il fuggitivo: benchè in quel momento la marea stesse salendo, si tuffò senza la minima esitazione [...],raggiunse la sponda opposta, riprendendo subito a correre alla velocità di prima. Quando anche i tre inseguitori si trovarono davanti all'insenatura, notai che solo due sapevano nuotare.[...] I due che s'erano tuffati nuotavano lentamente. [...] Allora ecco risorgermi nella mente, urgente e irresistibile, the idea to get me a servant, a helper, perhaps a companion, my time had come, at last, and I really felt called by Providence to save the lives of the poor creature fell to the .[...] a shortcut along the beach, so come and see me between the pursuer and the pursued .[...] my sight frightened him because the other [...] I motioned with his hand to go back and after a while , finding them below pursuers, took advantage of his confusion to settle down with the butt of a rifle shot that made him fell down. The fugitive meanwhile, had stopped [...] he sat there motionless and seemed uncertain about the direction to take, but more inclined to give it to him to legs to come closer. [...] Finally I was next and once again fell to kneel, bow their heads to the ground, grabbed my foot and laid it on the head, meaning that gesture that I would be forever enslaved. Him up, patted him, and with gestures and smiles reassured him as best I could. [...] "My wild" [...] made me understand by signs of wanting [...] the sword 'and contented himself, when he had the gun in his hands, rushed on his enemy and net with a shot from the neck cut off his head with such skill that no true perpetrator could have done with more precision. [...] After that I invited him to follow me ...

Tutu First Birthday Cake

fatuous

... "Yes, yes," said the voice. "You are not wrong, homunculus. I am, what I speak. " Timo stared in disbelief shimmering light. "You?" He asked, "Who are you?". The voice laughed softly. "I am a Fire fatuous, foolish little man," he said. "I do not know." "A ... Fire fatuous "Timo repeated in amazement. [...] He had never seen one.

[...] "I'm a Man" Timo said angrily. "I am a Helder." "Well, then Helderuncolo, precisely [...] I am a fatuous and Fire Wisps are known for the fact that smarriscono in continuazione”. “Oh” fece Timo. [...] “Ma è proprio così, con noi Fuochi fatui: ci sbagliamo di continuo”. “Un momento, [...] hai appena detto che ti smarrisci di continuo, qual è quella giusta allora?” “Bé, tutt'e due” rispose la sfera luminosa, “O era invece la prima? Oppure la seconda? [...] E che differenza c'è tra sbagliarsi e smarrirsi? Mi sbaglio appunto nella direzione. [...] Non è affatto divertente, te lo dico io”. Timo rifletté un momento. “E tu fai sempre le cose sbagliate?” volle sapere.

“Mai” affermò desolato il fuoco fatuo. “Bah, volevo Cow. Oh, you want to cry, I'm wrong all the time. "

"Then take me in the copse, where [...] is more dark and impenetrable. Why do not I have absolutely out of here. Still less do I get the parties to the Selva silver ".[...] "You think that if I take you through the woods, we come back to his room instead, because the wrong direction, eh? ". Timo nodded.

"This is senseless-wise I think. Very sensible. This idea may indeed be only one ... OMMUNITY Helderuncolo like you. Come with me, baby Helder, I'll take you to the forest. " "No," said Timo alarmed. "I do not di lì. Più addentro nel bosco”. Il Fuoco fatuo tacque un istante[...] “più addentro?” si sincerò “Ah, capisco, tu dici più addentro perché vuoi uscire e poiché pensi che mi sbaglio sempre... ma in realtà vuoi uscire da qui, e... oppure vuoi...-portandoti al margine, mi sbagliassi...oppure vuoi...Oh, ma è pazzesco. T'immagini, se mi sbaglio due volte e ti porto per errore davvero più addentro nel bosco?”

“Ma è lì che voglio andare!” disse con un sospiro Timo. “Davvero?” chiese il Fuoco fatuo. “Ma allora non devi prendere me come guida, sai? Io mi smarrisco di continuo e... ” Timo sorrise corrucciato. "Maybe it's better to continue alone," he said. "Sure, [...] I will only put off the road, e. .. but wait a bit '... though now I think this is fair and instead I'm wrong again, then obviously you should go with me ... but maybe I'm wrong right: either you that you're wrong? "Timo sighed. "Maybe it really better to continue alone," "No," she said imploringly Fire fatuous [...]. "I'll give you a proposal Fire vain: I and you seem to me as I continue to accompany me, but keep your mouth shut, meaning ?"...
