George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He kept a diary of his misadventures hidden in the ship’s rowboat.
Every night, he’d lower the boat into the water, row the boat a few yards away from the ship, and wrote by candlelight.
Then he’d stash the diary, row back to the ship, and put everything back into place before going to sleep.
His shipmates would sneak peaks at the diary, and they enjoyed the stories that George wrote.
So, they’d come up with all new ways to torment George, and looked forward to reading about them.
