The Messed Up Pirate
by Lydia, age 10, Rhode Island
There once was a pirate who got everything wrong like how he says barrh instead of arrh. His name was Barry but everyone called him B.P. It stands for bad pirate. He had a lazy cat instead of a parrot. He named his cat Houdini. His outfit was a striped shirt that said "barrh". and he wore a pink tutu. Don't ask about it. He was a very strange pirate and he didn't do his job right. As a crewmate his captain gave him night duty and he failed. There were two reasons. One he didn't know where to go. His captain told him he would feel it in his bones but he never got that feeling. Two an opposing ship came and when they got close they said give us yer gold! Arrh!!! So Barry said sure! He gave them gold got kicked out ,found a new captain to work for and luckily Barry didn't Get kicked out. At least for now. The new crew was kind of mean and bullied Barry and his cat for his ways. They headed for a cave to get the Ancient Fart repel gem. The gem would give the whole team and the captain the power to cover farts with a tootie frootie smell. When they got to the cave there was a maze and inside of the maze there was a lot of traps. At the end of the maze was the gem. First they ran through a bazes of of fire. Minus 2 crewmates. Then they went through the pit of cold ice. Minus 2 crewmates. Then they went through a jungle of thorns. Minus 2 crewmates. Then they went through the water full of piranhas. Minus 3 crewmates. And now only Barry and the captain remain. They got to the gemstone and there was a message : If you are pure of heart and caring worth gold this gem is yours. The captain said nah just some silly old note. I will just grab the stone and run. But as soon as he touched the gem he turned to stone. Now Barry did not take it well. Most pirates are supposed to be mean and hard. But Barry was kind and tenderhearted. Even though the crew and the captain were mean he still cared about them. And once these thoughts went through his mind the whole crew and the captain appeared. We know what you have done said the captain. We are all sorry. And that is when it got a little teary eyed. The team agreed to leave the gem and call it a day. And from that day on they treated Barry like family.
THE END
