Long ago, a boy named Johnny lived on a ship that sailed the seas. His father was the
captain. Johnny continually begged his father to let him keep watch. “Life on the sea is dangerous,” his father said. “Only the most responsible sailors can keep watch for sudden storms or fearsome pirates.” One night after much complaining and begging, the captain allowed Johnny to keep watch. Johnny expected the work to be exciting, but time crept more slowly than a slug. So Johnny decided to have some fun. “Pirates! Pirates!” Johnny yelled out. Sailors scrambled on deck, only to see Johnny laughing. “Just kidding!” he said as his eyes filled with tears of laughter. The captain was furious. “Pirates are no joke,”
he scolded. He made Johnny promise to behave, but Johnny did not listen. Once
again, when everyone was asleep, he sounded the alarm. Sleepy sailors hurried to their
posts, ready for action. And again, Johnny laughed at the fun of tricking them.
The third time Johnny was on watch, he yawned and stretched, scanning the horizon.
To his shock, he saw a pirate ship in the distance. “P-p-pirates!” he stammered.
“Pirates!” The sailors merely rolled over in their hammocks. They were sure Johnny was lying again. As the pirate ship edged closer, Johnny’s heart beat quickly with fear. He realized this was not a joke.
