George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
Somehow, he’d managed to wreck his ship on a far-distant asteroid.
It was a small asteroid, with three tiny volcanoes and a pretty red flower.
A little boy was attacking a seedling with a hoe.
“If I don’t kill the baobabs early enough, they’ll take root and destroy my home,” he said.
George tied up the boy “You must be someone’s child, and they’ll pay ransom.”
George chopped a baobab down for wood to repair his ship.
He sailed off as the remaining baobabs burst the asteroid apart.
