Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me!
- Little Lucky
Today I am officially a pirate! I get to go find those pirates and become one! I hope it is loads of fun! I am so excited! Today, Lucky the beagle takes a day off to be a real pirate cavalier!
I left the HMS Beagle early to start my adventure. When I arrived on the island, those pirates were all in a cave—sleeping!
As I entered the cave I saw a costume with a blue-and-white striped shirt, a black eye patch, black shorts, and some black lace up boots. They were my size—fitting perfectly! Since I was mischievous that day, I decided to slip them on. In about five minutes I had my costume on, except for the boots! I was staring at them; I had never worn them before so it would be tough to get them on. Soon I picked them up and shoved them on my paws; it was way easier than I thought! They slipped right on. Since I was sitting, I then got up and started dancing in my costume! I looked just like a pirate! After my fitting I walked over to what seemed to be a mini bar and saw what they had to drink. It was very hard to read since the letters were fancy but here's what I managed to pick up:
Thatıs the menu... I decided to have some ginger and a nice cup of water on the side. I waited for about a minute and my meal was ready. A pirate named Jake served me and told me he was the captain! He asked me if I knew anybody by the name of Robert FitzRoy, I nodded my head and he winked and let me enjoy my meal.
I looked down at my food and was shocked! I saw some nicely placed ginger on a plate with some leaves and some maple to dunk it in. I also noticed some fresh water that was nicely poured into an old carved pink seashell. I looked around for a nice table or clump or grass to sit on. None in sight... I decided to sit on some old barrels that used to be full of beer, they were very old—I could tell this because they were almost black as a chocolate lab! I then sat down and started to eat. I took a small bite of the ginger sprinkled on top, EWWWWWWWW! That is the most disgusting thing ever! Why can't they make it taste like sweets? It tasted like left over summer squash. Hmm, I wonder... Ok, I will try the seaweed plain... I then took a small taste... Hmm, it seemed fine to me. Kind of like grass, except nicely laid out on a platter just for one little dog who was hungry. Next was for the maple sauce, I wasnıt ready to dunk so I stuck my nose in the side... Wow! That is S-T-I-C-K-Y! Oh great, now I have it stuck on my nose! I picked up the little shell of water and stuck my nose in that... Bad idea Lucky That's what I told myself... Now all the sticky maple is in my water, off to get a new cup.
I was done eating the seaweed. I was ready to actually become a pirate instead of eating all day.
I saw that all of the pirates were now getting up and not slacking off asleep. I decided to walk over to them (in my uniform) and go ask what I should do as a pirate. They replied with "Get into the boat!" We lifted anchor and set off looking for a ship to steal.
Unfortunately, I can't tell my story—otherwise they'd have to keep me! Those pirates have lots of secrets.
At the end of the day, the pirates told me that they only took me along because my name was "Lucky". They thought I would bring them good luck and I did, but they wanted a beagle 
. Either way we had a nice sail and I kept them from pirating the HMS Beagle.
