George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
Still, he tried his best, such as the time when he wanted to decorate the ship for Halloween.
“We’ll carve creepy pumpkins!” he said.
The problem was, they didn’t have any pumpkins.
So, George painted the cannonballs orange and drew scary faces on them.
And he cut up the sails into ghost costumes.
“See?” George said. “We’re ghosts! Ghostly pirates! Scary!”
“Without our sails, we’re dead in the water,” growled the captain.
“That’s the spirit!” said a ghostly George. “Booooooo! Boooooo!”
The captain brained George with an orange cannonball.
