George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He spent a lot of time getting drunk in taverns.
One night, he overheard sailors talking about a gold shipment.
George raced back to his ship to tell his crewmates.
Later that night, George overheard them saying how much of a stupid fool George was.
Dejected, George went back to the tavern.
The next day, the pirates attacked the cargo ship with the gold.
But it was a trap. Several Navy frigates ambushed the pirates.
George was at the tavern, buying drinks for the sailors with the reward money.
