A New Pirate Friend

Today, while I were down at the beach, I met a new pirate friend.

Let me tell you how it happened.

First, I went to the sea with Pirate Daddy and his crew.  Pirate Tyler set to blowing up a big boat for them to sail about.

While I were waitin' to get on the boat, I noticed a sea creature on the shore.

He were like nothin' I'd ever seen before...he moved very slooooowly, so I sat down to watch him.

It were then that I heard a voice.

"So I see ye met me pet starfish!"

I turned around and there he were.  A pirate like me, but with a pegleg and a funny blue hat.

"Ahoy thar!" I said.  "My name be Pirate Shortbeard!  I'm here with Pirate Daddy and his crew.  What name might I be callin' you?"

"People around these parts call me Pirate Jona!  It be good indeed to see another salty pirate in these parts!  Let me show you around."

Pirate Jona is friends with all the sea beasts what come near the shore.

He showed me an urchin.

And a crab.

And even a tiny fish what were hidin' among the rocks.

 "Ye seem like a tough and hardy ol' sea dog," said I.  "Where be your trusty crew?"

"Aye.  There be a sad story indeed," he said.  "I never had me a great crew like you and Pirate Daddy.  But the small crew I did have got lost here among the islands.  I've been searching for them for weeks now but can't find them.  So I've been keepin' meself busy playin' with the sea life here amidst the rocks."

Well as tough a pirate as I am, Pirate Jona's sad tale put a tear in me eye.  Until I thought of what next to say....

"That be a sorry tale indeed Pirate Jona.  But I has me a plan!  What say ye join forces with me own scurvy crew?  We can search together for yer lost shipmates!"

"Aye, now that be quite a plan indeed."

So we went to meet Pirate Daddy's crew.
