Winnie's Treasure Hunt

Chapter One It was a sunny day, and Winnie and Wilbur were skipping. Wilbur was a brilliant skipper. Winnie kept getting her legs in a muddle, so she said a rhyme to help her keep going. "One maggot, two maggots, three maggots, four. Five maggots, six maggots, seven maggots, more! I'm dropping maggots all over the floor. What the knitted noodles am I skipping for?"

Winnie paused and sighed loudly. "I'll tell you what I'm skipping for, Wilbur. I'm as bored as a skateboard that no one skates on. Why can't something interesting happen around here?" Just as Winnie said that, a man with an eyepatch and a wooden leg walked past. He peered closely at the ground from underneath his big black hat. Winnie thought he looked quite interesting. "Are you a real pirate?" asked Winnie. "Arrr!" said the man. "Good arrrfternoon, marrrm! Indeed I be a real pirate, and my name's Arrrthur." "Are you a mean sort of a pirate who might kidnap a witch or a cat?" asked Winnie.
