    Jacks the Pirate


    An old pirate was sitting in the bar. He was smoking a pipe
    and drinking a glass of rum. He was wearing an eye patch
    and he had a parrot on his shoulder and a wooden leg.
    Instead of his right hand he had a metal hook. A young
    sailor was chatting with the pirate and he asked him about
    his adventures at sea.
    ‘So, how did you lose your leg?” the young man asked the
    pirate.
    ‘Arrr! ,’ said the pirate, ‘You see, some sharks were
    circling the ship when I fell overboard. Luckily, my men
    pulled me back onto the ship before the sharks ate me
    completely, but one of the sharks got my leg.’
    ‘And how about the hook on your hand? How did you lose your hand?’
    ‘I was boarding a ship when another sailor cut off my hand with a sword.’
    ‘That’s amazing! What a life full of adventures!’ said the young man. ‘And how
    about your eye? How did you lose that?’
    ‘I was eating a grapefruit when the juice went into my eye.’
    ‘But I don’t understand. How did you lose your eye from the grapefruit juice?’
    ‘Arrr!’ said the pirate, ‘it was my first day with the new hook.’
