Pirates Ahead


Oh, the perils we face at school!


Today, we hoisted the flag and set sail in Miss White’s brand-new S.S. Frankie Lemmon in search of the fabled lost treasure chest. But wouldn’t you know it?—we ran into pirates! They, too, were searching for the lost treasure chest.














“R,” roared the captain,
“R’s not enough. We need other letters to help make us tough.”
“Let’s sail far away to find ABC’s. Bring me back D’s, E’s, F’s, and some G’s.”
“R,” cried the crew. “R, we agree! Let’s look for an A and a B and a C!”



They were scary looking…and some of us thought it might be a good time to abandon ship. But Miss Forbis said, “Wait! The pirate captain is angry because he thinks the crew has robbed his “Z”. If we can sing them a lullaby they’ll fall asleep. Zillions of “Z”s will zoom all over their heads and they’ll sail away happy.”

Just then Miss Paula came along and saw our plight. With no further ado, she taught us the lullaby: “I can sing…la la la la la”. It worked! The pirates fell asleep and we sailed away. Not only that, but we each found our own lost treasure chest.
