1-5

One upon a time, there was an office worker whose name was Charles. He worked in the same
insurance office for many years. But during that time, he became more and more unhappy. While
he worked, he dreamed constantly, and in his dream he was always a hermit, he stayed in this
room. He didn’t like people. He especially didn’t like people when they talked. He wanted peace.
Life went on for Charles in this way until he became desperate.

His big opportunity came when he learned about a sea voyage the two of his friends were
planning. They expected to make the trip during their summer vacation. Charles asked to join
them. While they were sailing, our hero talked to his friends about the joys of hermits’ life. He
talked until he finally convinced them and they decided to stop at the first island that they
found.

A few days after these decisions, they saw the island in the distance where they decided to
live. Before they went ashore, Charles asked the other two to make a promise not to say a word
after they reached the island. They were to remain perfectly quiet during their stay.

During the first few days after they landed, they built a little house where they planted a
garden. The island was paradise for Charles because this was the peace that he wanted.
