George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
The captain paired up George with a more experienced pirate to learn from.
The mentor tried to help George learn from his mistakes and get better.
But after years of frustration, he ended up covering for George’s mistakes.
The mentor recommended that George try meditation.
“Light a candle and focus on the flame,” he said.
So, George did. And he nearly set the ship on fire.
The captain picked up a bucket of sand and put out the fire.
“I’ll get you a battery-powered LED candle, okay?” he said.
