George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
After his parrot flew away, he needed a new pet worthy of a pirate.
So, he bought a monkey from the Peebles Pet Store.
It was a rather large monkey, and it wore a bow tie and a silly hat.
“Call me Magilla,” it said. “Got any bananas?”
The monkey’s appetite soon put George in a financial bind.
He couldn’t afford to keep him.
So, George returned the monkey to the pet store.
And he stole a turtle. Because at least he could catch it if it ran away.
