QB9BI1-1996)
nce upon a time there was a family living on a cliff by the
sea. The family had a mother, a father, a young girl, a younger boy,
a big dog, and a little dog.
In the middle of one night when everyone was asleep - even
the dogs - a pirate ship sailed over to the side of the cliff. The
pirates got off the boat, climbed up the cliff, went into the house,
and took the little boy. They sailed out to sea.
Soon the little boy woke up. When he saw that he was on a
pirate ship, he cried and cried for his mother. The pirates, who
were the nicest pirates you would ever want to meet - not that
you would want to meet any pirates - soon got the boy to stop
crying.
They said that they would bring him home as soon as he
helped them recover their treasure.
They had buried their treasure
in a cave, but now the cave entrance was too small for them to get
into, so they needed a small child to go in and remove the treasure.
The boy agreed to try and he asked what the treasure was. The
pirates said that they had hidden a chest of gold and jewels, a bottle
of rum, and their yo ho ho.
They soon arrived at the small island. Quickly, they sent the boy
into the cave to find their treasure.
Dont forget the yo ho ho.
I the pirates yelled after him.
The boy crawled into the cave where he saw a lot of different
paths. Soon he got lost and, once again, started crying. Then he sat
down and cried himself to sleep.
The pirates waited and waited for the boy to come out. But
pirates arent known for their patience, so they soon gave up on the
boy.

They sailed back to the house on the cliff. It was still night
and everyone was still asleep - even the dogs. This time, they
took the young girl.
They sailed back to the island and told the girl to go in the
cave and get their treasure.
So the little girl crawled into the cave
looking-for the chest, the bottle of rum, and the yo ho ho. But
most importantly to the little girl, she was looking for her little
brother.
The pirates called after her, Dont forget the yo ho ho!
But the little girl also got lost in the cave. She sat down to
rest and, like her brother, soon fell asleep.
Page F
The pirates waited and waited, but again gave up on the girl.
They got back into their ship and sailed back to the house on the
cliff. They tried to take the big dog, but it started to growl, so they
took the little dog instead.
They sailed back to the island and told the little dog to go
into the cave and get ,their chest of treasure, their bottle of rum
and, of course, their yo ho ho. The dog ran into the cave so fast,
that the pirates didnt get a chance to yell, Dont forget the yo ho
ho!
The pirates waited and waited and then saw the dog crawling
back out of the cave dragging something. They cheered, The dog
has found our treasure. I But instead of the treasure, it was . . . the
little boy.
So they sent the dog back into the cave to get the chest and
the rest of their treasure. Again, they waited and waited and then
saw the dog crawling back out of the cave dragging something. But
this time, instead of the treasure, it was . . . the young girl.

The pirates sent the dog back into the cave for the third time.
They waited and waited and once again saw the dog dragging
something out of the cave. This time it was . . . the chest of treasure!
The pirates, the little boy and the young girl cheered. Then
the pirates sent the dog back into the cave looking for the bottle
of
rum and their yo ho ho. Again, they waited and waited and finally
the dog came out carrying . . . the bottle of rum!
Yay! everyone cheered. The girl and boy also cheered. Even
though they knew they could not have any of the rum, they were
excited for the pirates. The pirates seemed so happy that it was
impossible not to be happy with them.
Now all we need is our yo ho ho! said the pirates as they
sent the dog back into the cave.
They waited and waited and waited some more until, finally,
the dog came back out of the cave carrying . . . nothing. The dog
shook his little head. No yo ho ho.
Page SEVEN
The pirates were sad that the dog did not find the yo ho ho,
but they were so happy about their treasure and the bottle of rum
that they decided to have a party right there on the small island.
The pirates danced their pirate jigs and sang their pirate songs
and opened the bottle of rum. And you know what? It turns out
that the yo ho ho was... inside the bottle of rum!
And all of them, including the little boy and girl, chanted
Yo ho ho in a bottle of rum! until their mouths were tired. Even
the little dog barked along.
NOT The End.
Page EIGHT
Ending:
7r he pirates were so happy when they found their yo ho ho,
that they opened the treasure chest and let the boy, the girl and,
yes, even the little dog, take whatever they wanted.
The little girl took a beautiful necklace full of sparkly gems.
The little boy took a golden bow and some golden arrows. And the
little dog took a pair of golden bowls, one for food and one for
water.
Then the pirates sailed back to the house on the cliff and put
the girl, the boy, and even the dog back to bed.
In the morning, the father and mother were very glad to see
their children - and the dogs - but they didnt believe the
childrens story about the pirates, the treasure, the bottle of rum,
or the yo ho ho.
MALLy The End.
