George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He made up for it by volunteering for the Port Royal Symphony.
George swept the floors, copied sheet music, and performed a variety of menial, but helpful chores.
The director was impressed by George’s efforts.
“We’re planning to perform Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture next month,” said the director. “Can you ask your pirate friends to provide the final volley of cannon fire?”
George gladly agreed.
His shipmates didn’t quite understand the request, and ended up laying waste to the concert hall.
George picked up a broom, and began sweeping.
