“
The next Day, the 16th, I went up the same Way again, and after going something farther than I had gone the Day before, I found the Brook, and the Savana's began to cease, and the Country became more woody than before; in this Part I found different Fruits, and particularly I found Mellons upon the Ground in great Abundance, and Grapes upon the Trees; the Vines had spread indeed over the Trees, and the Clusters of Grapes were just now in their Prime, very ripe and rich: This was a surprising Discovery, and I was exceeding glad of them; but I was warn'd by my Experience to eat sparingly of them, remembring, that when I was ashore in Barbary, the eating of Grapes kill'd several of our English Men who were Slaves there, by throwing them into Fluxes and Feavers: But I found an excellent Use for these Grapes, and that was to cure or dry them in the Sun, and keep them as dry'd Grapes or Raisins are kept, which I thought would be, as indeed they were, as wholesom as agreeable to eat, when no Grapes might be to be had. 去书内

    In this passage, Robinson Crusoe's exploration leads to a bountiful discovery. The transition from savanna to a wooded area brings an array of fruits, especially melons and prime grapes. While overjoyed, his past in Barbary tempers his enthusiasm, as he recalls the deadly consequences of unrestrained grape consumption. This caution, born of experience, is a testament to his survival wisdom. Moreover, his decision to sun-dry the grapes as raisins showcases his resourcefulness. Such actions not only secure a food supply but also reveal his adaptability and ability to make the most of his environment, crucial traits for his continued survival on the island.
