The title of the article was “Six years on an Island”, Its topic was “courage and tolerance”. The article touched on a real story. On Edward’s 25th birthday, his girlfriend prepared the best tobacco for him. She used beautiful tissue to wrap the gift. It rained heavily that day, A torrent of water poured down the mountain. Edward was drifted to an isolated island. He felt something was stepping on his toes and then he woke up. Edward was out of touch with his family. He tossed on the ground that night. Once a ship passed by the island. Edward tossed his clothes into the air and waved a torch. He cried and his shrill tone troke the quietness, but the ship still left. Edward had to build a wooden house for himself, including the kitchen and the toilet. He couldn’t eat toasts any mor. Fortunately there were some tomatoes on the island. But Edward suffered the tortures of loneliness. He often stared a love token or a long time. year by year,Edward hardly spoke with his tongue. Six years passed. a passing ship rescued him finally. His families thought he had died. They had built a tomb for him. By the same token, his girlfriend married with another man. Edward was tolerant to her. He proposed a toast to her happiness. The editor touched the article up a little.
