George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
When the ship was overtaken by other pirates, George pretended to be a stowaway.
“Hi, I’m Jim,” said George, waving a piece of paper. “Have you got a lemon to reveal the secret ink on this treasure map?”
A one-legged pirate on a crutch hobbled over to George and snatched away the map.
“Aye, me hearties!” he shouted. “Fetch me a lemon!”
While the pirates searched for a lemon, George jumped in the lifeboat and escaped.
“It’s just a blank piece of paper,” he chuckled, and he rowed away.
