From Wikipedia:
James "Jim" Hawkins is a fictional character in Robert Louis
Stevenson's novel Treasure Island. He is both the protagonist and narrator of
the story.
Jim Hawkins is the young son of the owners of the Admiral
Benbow Inn. An old drunken seaman named Billy Bones becomes a long-term lodger
at the inn. Jim quickly realizes that Bones is in hiding, and that he
particularly dreads meeting an unidentified seafaring man with one leg. Bones is
visited by his crewmates twice during the following months, the second visit
being by Pew, who gives Bones the Black Spot, a pirates' summons, with the
warning that he has until ten o'clock, and he drops dead of apoplexy on the
spot. Jim and his mother open Bones' sea chest to collect the amount due for
Bones's room and board, but before they can count out the money due them, they
hear pirates approaching the inn and are forced to flee and hide, Jim taking
with him a mysterious oilskin packet from the chest. Jim comes to the house of
local landlord Squire Trelawney and his mother's friend and patron Dr. Livesey.
Together, they examine the oilskin packet, which contains a logbook detailing
the treasure looted during Captain Flint's career, and a detailed map of an
island, with the location of Flint's treasure caches marked on it. Squire
Trelawney immediately plans to outfit a sailing vessel to hunt the treasure
down, with the help of Dr. Livesey and Jim.
I'm sending out today's literary entry in the "As Seen On TV" showcase to my young friend Eli Cleary, who's celebrating his 12th birthday today. Living over in Taiwan, Eli is a young adventurer like Jim Hawkins, and that he would acquit himself well in similar situations.
生日快乐, Eli!
