Having the Robinson Crusoe spirit Once, I was about 10, we were invited by some friends to their country house for the day. As I lived in town, and I had just finished reading the story of Robinson Crusoe, I wanted to built a hut. As I asked to the parent's friends this, they gave me a small axe and a roll of string for binding and showed me a spot in a corner of the garden where I could put in place my hut. Their daughter was supposed to help me but she didn't like this project and would prefered to stay in house with the adults. It was so easy to cut trees, and I really wanted a big strong hut ... So some hours later, when It was time for my family to come back, they discovered the garden with most of the trees cut down. I understood after why their daughter was smilling when I went on to cut trees as she tried to reduce my eagerness, without success ... In some way she was happy of this bad surprise giving to her parents. My parents were embarrassed for the cutting of all these trees and very angry with me.
