George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He got scared easily. Loud noises, the dark… you name it, George was afraid of it.
He slept with a teddy bear, and he carried his security blanket around.
“You look silly,” said the captain. “Put that blanket away.”
In time, George overcame his fears. And he didn’t need his security blanket or teddy bear anymore.
The captain was relieved. One less thing to worry about.
And as he went to bed, wrapped in George’s security blanket, he told Teddy “Good night” and he blew out his lantern’s candle.
