Captain Silverbeard.

“What will you do with the treasure of Wannahockalugie, Captain?”  Captain’s first mate, Frenchie asked quizzically.

   “I will stop pirating and live in a castle in Jamaica.”  Captain Silverbeard growled like he said it a thousand times.  Actually, he did say it a thousand times.    So on the [Jolly Rancher] Captain Silverbeard’s crew grew impatient from the weeks upon weeks of treasure hunting with no results except for a hungry stomach and minor sea sickness. Silverbeard was a strong and demanding captain who asked a lot from his crew, but feared the crew would be irritated and would rebel. “Three more days of sailing.”  The captain roared taking back control.  The three days went by slowly and after the three days went by, the captain couldn’t take it any longer and finally the captain sighed and said, “We are going back to Pirate Island.”  The crew was relieved to go home, but disappointed they would come back empty handed.  

After days of traveling the [Jolly Rancher] was parked at the docks and the crew went to a local shop to pillage.  When they got there they saw an enemy crew carrying a treasure chest; the captain instantaneously withdrew his sword and pistol and chased the other crew like a rabid animal.  The crew attacked with him and they were engaged in battle.  The enemy crew ran away and kept running until they were on opposite sides of the island.   While the captain greedily gathered the treasure Frenchie whispered to the crew, “Has the captain gone mad, we weren’t prepared for battle and it was only over one small chest.”  The crew agreed that the captain was growing greedier and greedier.  The captain was  respected by the men and was known to plan out his crimes and battles and execute them with class.  Running after a pirate crew like a rabid animal over a small treasure chest wasn’t class.  When the captain came back he stumbled on an x, it was no ordinary x it was the landmark of the treasure of Wannahockalugie.  The captain fainted.  After ten minutes the captain woke up.  “What was that all about?”  Frenchie asked with confusion.

            “The treasure we have been looking for is here.”  Adrenaline was rushing through the captain as he spoke.  Frenchie had a vague look on his face. “The treasure we have searched for, for weeks?  Frenchie still had a vague look on his face.  Frenchie wasn’t known for his intelligence.  “The treasure of Wannahockalugie you idiot!”  Frenchie finally understood.  “Let’s dig up the treasure.”  The Captain bellowed.

            The crew dug for hours and finally found a golden tomb glistening with jewels and gold and silver.  There was so much sand kicked up in the air from the pirate’s dancing and finally the captain spoke.  “Load the Jolly Rancher up men.”  The captain said joyfully.  After the treasure was loaded onto the Jolly Rancher the crew was exhausted.

            “Where are we going? Frenchie asked confused.

            “I don’t know where you are going, but I am going to Jamaica with the treasure.”  Silverbeard smugly pointed out.  He took out his pistol.  [Bang! Bang! Bang!]  The crew used the last of their energy to run away.  With that out of the way Captain Silverbeard let out a roar of laughter and sailed into the sea.

            Silverbeard settled in a castle on a Jamaican island. Captain Silverbeard was the richest pirate in history.
