They had this exsistance for 100 of years.
One day, one of the islanders become a man from a boy and they are planning special party for him. Also , he will get marry with a local girl. Many people are prepareing the special celebrations for them.
One this day, a mainland boy who called Cyril comes to the island with a radio set. He is welcome on the island but he thinks that everything is strange. He must adapt quickly, so he tries to learn about these people's customs. He lives wiht a families called Jonan's and for payment, he must teach them how to read and write because the island doesn't have a system of money.
When Cyril is there, he explain about his radio set and lets them listen to it. And one thisng they hear from the radio is that the mainland colony want to come to the island but they don't say why. The islandr feel suspicious about this, suddenly, they hear morse code. Many people think that it is the mainland people who want to come to the island to take it over....
