10 The Pirate Captain’s Story

CHAPTER 10 THE PIRATE CAPTAIN'S STORY

Once upon a time, there was a bad little boy who dreamed of nothing else but going to sea and becoming a pirate, and when he grew up, he did exactly that. He becmne a pirate captain sailing the seven seas in his very own pirate ship with his very own pirate crew.

The pirate captain spent his days plundering ships, SURRENDER OR DIE! burying treasure,

making prisoners walk the plank, and was as happy as any pirate captain could possibly be.

That is, until one day, when his ship was attacked by a huge disgusting fish that looked and smelled like a ngoldy old piece of cheese... a really stinky, moldy old piece of blue-green cheese.

"Gorgonzola!" says Jill. "That's right," says the captain. "Exactly like gorgonzola." "No, I mean its name was Gorgonzola!" says Jill. "The very one!" says the captain. "But how would a landlubber like you know about a thing like that?" "Jill knows everything there is to know about animals," says Terry. "Is that right?" says the captain, studying Jill carefully before going on with his story.
