George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He didn’t bother with the latest pirate fashions and trends.
No hook hands, no peg legs, no eyepatches, no puffy shirts.
Well, he did try a parrot on for size, but the thing kept biting his ear.
So, George set it free.
The parrot flew away, and then, when it realized it was over the deep ocean, turned back and tried to catch up with the ship.
But it was too tired, and eventually fell into the water and drowned.
“Serves you right for biting my ear,” said George.
