      Arrgh! Give me the treasure and I’ll let you go instead of makin’ you walk the narrow plank. My 6 year old grandson loves adventure and knows how to swim, so since pirates take over ships, it’s a good thing to keep your head above water and tread lightly, or else the waves will cause you to bob up and down, swallowing a mouthful of seawater.
