George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
When bad things happened, he always blamed others.
“Maybe you should look in the mirror, George?” said the captain.
So, George did. And he blamed the mirror.
From that day on, George smashed every mirror he saw.
“Damn you all!” he’d shout, whacking the mirror with the butt of his cutlass until it was nothing but tiny shards of broken glass.
He kept them in a bag on his belt, and he’d get angry and stuff it in people’s mouths.
“CHEW IT!” he’d shout.
And he’d smash more mirrors.
