THE PIRATE AND THE SEA CAPTAIN

Whittle was walking in the woods when he ran into a old lady.

The old lady said "Come in, come into my house, I will tell you a story."

Whittle said "Sure." and he stepped inside her house.

This is the story she told. "A long, long time ago, there were two brothers. One was a sea captain and one was a pirate. The pirate decided to surprise his brother with a house. After a while the pirate decided he liked the house he built better then his own, so they decided to switch houses. The pirate's old house was on a hill. One day the pirate was having a ripan`, roarin` PIRATE PARTY!(With bazookas an' all.) But he didn't invite his BROTHER! Then the sea captain brother said "WHY DIDN`T YOU INVITE ME!" Then they had a big argument and got all mad at each other and took back all the money they ever gave to each other. One day the pirate was trespassing on his brother's land. His brother spied him through the window and said."HOLT WRITE TERE!"He talks funny, because in the argument his brother got violent(oh, me gooosh) And KNOCKED OUT HIS TWO FRONT TEETH! He ran outside grabbed his brother by the arm and said." I will sue you in pirates court!"When they got to court the judge said, " Order in the court, order in the court, I hereby proclaim the fine of 15 cents from pirate brother." But pirate claimed he had no money to get out of spending the 15 cents."

"Nice story" said Whittle" Gee thanks!" and he went home.

The end

(The house the pirate brother made became E. B. White's house.)

What really happened was there was no pirate that we know of. But the sea captian was real. No violence was involved we think. The two brothers got in a fight for unknown reasons to us. One of the brothers caught the other one trespassing on his land and brought him to court and fined him 15 cents and you know the rest of the story.(This happened a long time ago.)
