Nobody lives on the little island of Ata,where it is summer all year round.Everybody knows that ships don t stop at Ata, but once "The Mary jane" suddenly changed her course and went towards the island. When the ship came nearer, the small figures ran down the hill and into the water to meet the ship. There were six of them, all boys.The boys had arranged their life very well: each boy had his own duties. Their food was birds, birds' eggs, fruit, fish, whatever they couid find on the ground, in the air and in the water. They explained that they bad enjoyed their fine life on the island, but they were glad to be saved, and were happy to return home to their own country.
