George keeps a secret

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.

When pirates tell each other secrets, they get really fancy with their expressions.

Like sinking something down in Davy Jones’ Locker.

Or the best way for three men to keep a secret is to kill two of them.

George liked to say “Keep this under your hat.”

Which is where he kept his most important secret. Literally under his hat.

So while he slept, his fellow pirates would take off his hat and read his secret.

Which consisted of a little slip of paper marked “Buy a new hat.”
