George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
After three days stranded in the desert with no food or water, he was hallucinating pretty badly.
“All I need is a rope to pull my ship back to the water,” babbled George, stumbling over the sand.
George came across what he thought was a rope, but it turned out to be a snake.
“Good evening,” said the snake.
Whether it was the rope being a snake or the snake talking, it didn’t matter.
Startled, George beat the snake with a rock, ate it, and continued on his journey.
