The Hermit
Most people like living with other people.But some people just have to be by themselves.Take Bozo Kucik,for example.For over eighty-four years Bozo lived all alone on a desert island.
In 1888,when Bozo was only sixteen,his father left him on a little island off the coast of Croatia.He kissed Bozo goodbye and said,“I hope all goes well with you,my son.” Then the father got back in his boat and sailed home without his son.How could he do such a thing,you ask?Well,Bozo had asked him to.
Bozo’s father was a poor peasant who couldn’t afford to feed his seven children.So he called his sons together and asked them to decide their own futures.Bozo chose the life of a hermit.
During the years that Bozo lived alone,World WarsⅠand Ⅱwere fought.But Bozo never heard about them.In 1972,a crew of fishermen visited his island.They tried to talk to Bozo.At first the old hermit ran away.Finally,he let the men into his windowless stone hut.
The fishermen talked with Bozo for over two hours.___________ When they asked his age,Bozo guessed he was one hundred years old.
They asked if he wanted to go home.But Bozo said no.So the fishermen wished Bozo well and left him alone again—just as his father had done eighty-four years before.
