George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
The other pirates were okay with this, and they picked up the slack.
“We don’t succeed or fail as individuals,” said the captain. “We do everything as a team.”
So, when George accidentally fired a cannon into the hull and sank the ship, his crewmates didn’t mind at all.
“This is why we have the lifeboat,” they said as they piled in.
But when George tried to get in, they threw him overboard.
“Not that we want to take chances,” they said.
He watched them as they rowed away.
