Pizza with a Viking

Ahoy thar mateys!

Aye, now it's been some time since I told ye a tale, but Pirate Daddy has been very busy.

So the other night I said, "Pirate Daddy!  Let's take a break and go for dinner."

"Ham night?" he asked.

"Aye, we'll eat some ham, but let's have it on a pizza instead!"

"Now that's the best idea I've heard in days!" said Daddy, so off we went.

Since Pirate Daddy's crew went home, we took Pirate Jona with us and went in search of pizza.

But when we got to the restaurant, I couldn't believe me eyes.

There were someone trapped under the cup at the table!

I looked closer, and yelled to him, "Are ye ok?"  I'll have ye out in a second!

I grabbed a fork and pushed with all me might.  "What if he's not friendly?" asked Jona, and he got out his pistol just in case.

Well, I pushed and pushed until the cup fell over and out came a Viking Pirate!

"Ooooooh!" he said.  "Fresh air at last!  I've been in there all day..."

"I'm Pirate Shortbeard and this is me mate Pirate Jona.  What name might we use for you?"

"I'm Viking Pirate.  And I've been stuck under that glass ever since me crew trapped me and took all me Viking treasure.  I saw them head off with me ship early this morning."

"But morning is long passed.  They will be half the world away by now.  Do you want to join me own pirate crew?  We are taking a ship to America to see me old mates Pirate Timothy and Pirate Theodore in only a few more days."

"Are Theodore and Timothy good pirates or will they leave me like me last crew?"

"Ye need not worry about that, Viking Pirate," I said.  "Timothy and Theodore be the roughest, meanest pirates around.  But they be loyal and true."

"It's a deal," said Viking Pirate.  I'll sail with yer crew, but if I find those dirty rats who stole me treasure, I'll need your help to set things right!"

"Aye, ye have our oath!"

Now let's eat some pizza.  I'll cut the first piece.

Pirate Jona was hungry too.  He ate a whole piece all by himself!

But Viking Pirate, who is from up north, wanted to eat something cold.  So we got him an ice cream.
