At last he lays his head flat upon the ground, close to my foot, andsets my other foot upon his head, as he had done before; and after thismade all the signs to me of subjection, servitude, and submissionimaginable, to let me know how he would serve me so long as he lived. Iunderstood him in many things, and let him know I was very well pleasedwith him. In a little time I began to speak to him; and teach him to speak tome: and first, I let him know his name should be Friday, which was the day Isaved his life: I called him so for the memory of the time. I likewise taughthim to say Master; and then let him know that was to be my name: I likewisetaught him to say Yes and No and to know the meaning of them.

The fragment describes the moment when he saves Friday from death at thehands of the band of cannibals.
The fragment describes a crucial moment that establishes the nature of therelationship between Friday and Robinson that of master and slave.
