BR04: Stories of Pirates


‘But he had only just begun to stuff his pockets with gold coins, when disaster struck.’

I’ll write this book reviews. Main character is Charlie Crossbones; he’d spent the last ten years at Pirate School to set sail for treasure. He knew how to read a treasure map, unlock a chest and do lots of other pirate things. He even knew how to give a proper pirate’s laugh, what’s more Charlie had been lucky enough to inherit his Grandpa’s old pirate ship and all the gear to go with it. But he realized something was missing, he didn’t have a parrot. So Charlie spotted just what he needed. There were parrots of all shapes and sizes, but there was all too expensive. As Charlie turned to go, the parrot seller said, ‘I suppose you could have this one,’ he said. Charlie had never seen such a pretty parrot and he was amazed it was so cheap so he got the parrot. Out at sea, Charlie spotted a ship called the Fat Flounder. He waited until the sailors had gone to lunch, then he rowed across to the ship and sneaked in through an open window. He’d climbed into the cabin where the captain kept his treasure. But he had only just begun to stuff his pockets with gold coins, when disaster struck. ‘Sssh!’ Charlie hissed at his parrot, but it was too late. Charlie took one look at Captain Silverside and ran. As he rowed back to his ship, Charlie turned to his parrot with a face like thunder. And more, just Charlie was about to steal someone’s treasure, the let out a warning cry. Whenever he tried to get rid of the parrot, it always found its way back to Charlie’s shoulder, so he wondered what he could do. One day, the landlord tried to cheer him up and they were so busy talking, a thief creeping up to the landlord’s cash box. The thief was just about to swipe all the money, when Charlie’s parrot squawked into action. The landlord said, ‘That thief nearly got away with my cash.’ This gave Charlie an idea. The landlord paid Charlie handsomely for his new burglar alarm and Charlie had enough money to buy another bide a quite one this time. This part was interesting very much.
