We are Going on a Treasure Hunt!

2. "Arrrghh, me hearties, jump aboard and prepare to sail with
me", shouted Sophia the Pirate. She was off on a treasure
hunt. She sailed out onto the wavy, restless, spiky sea and
onwards to a far away distant island.

3. The crew worked for the captain. They scrubbed the deck, worked
the rigging and sails, steered the ship, fixed the ship when it was
broken and protected the ship from buccaneers and pirates. They
all loved working for Sophia. She would get cranky if they didn't
do their jobs well and make them walk the plank.

4. Joking Jed and Frightful Faith were experts at fishing. They
threw the net into the dark, green sea to catch some slimy
fish. The fish was to be cooked for dinner.

5. While Sophia was
looking across the big
shiny sea for the
desert island, she
spotted another ship
sailing to the same
island they were
bound for.
"I hate those dirty
rotten weevils, I
think they plan to
plunder my sparkly
treasure," grumbled
Captain Sophia.

6. "All hands on deck, hoist the Jolly Roger, get the
cannons ready and sail fast to the island. Arrrrrr! ,
boomed Captain Sophia. She put on her most growliest,
scariest face and raced her ship to the island.

7. They got to the island. Sophia pulled the map out of her
pocket and looked at the dusty writing. "C'mon me
mateys, get yer shovels, we are going on a treasure hunt.
Off they trotted through the coconut trees".

8. We're going on a
treasure hunt!
We're so excited!
Uh, oh! Big Coconut
trees!
We can't go over
them, we can't go
under them,
we'll have to go
through them.
Trip, bang, boing
Trip, bang, boing
OOOOWWWW!

9. We're going on a treasure
hunt!
We're so excited!
Uh, oh! A brown bumpy
sleepy crocodile!
We can't go over him, we
can't go under him,
we'll have to go around him.
Tiptoe, tiptoe, shush!
Tiptoe, tiptoe, shush!
Tiptoe, tiptoe, shush!

10. We're going on a
treasure hunt!
We're so excited!
Uh, oh! A steep sandy
hill!
We can't go through it,
we can't go under it,
we'll have to go over it.
Slide, slide, slip
Slide, slide, slip
To the top...
Wheeeeeeeeeeee!
Down the other side.

11. We're going on a treasure hunt!
We're so excited!
Uh, oh! A deep dark cold cave!
We can't go over it, we cant' go
under it,
we'll have to go through it!
Shiver, creep, snap, bang!
Shiver, creep, snap, bang!
Silver, creep, snap, bang!
KYEEELP!!!

12. Lippy Layton and Joking Jed had stumbled onto a hard object.
We're going on a treasure hunt and we're so excited.
One cold long metal hole.
Sharp pointy edges.
Round smooth top.
A shiny gold flat surface.
It's a TREASURE CHEST!

13. "Well done, me hearties", grumbled Captain Sophia. Lippy
Layton and Joking Jed carried the shiny treasure chest back
to the rusty old ship. "This sure is one heavy treasure
chest!" groaned Lippy Layton as they stumbled along with
their heavy treasure chest.

14. Joking Jed yelled, "Yay,
we got the treasure
before those dirty
weevils got to it."
Captain Sophia and her
crew opened the treasure
chest and found rubies,
diamonds and gold coins.
The pirates jumped for joy
and danced a jig.

15. Captain Sophia ordered her crew to hoist the Jolly Roger
and set sail. "We shall sail homeward bound! The crew
leapt into action and had the ship sailing home, away from
the island and away from the rotten weevil pirates who
tried to take the treasure.

16. We went on a treasure hunt, we came to an island, we
stumbled through some coconut trees, we tiptoed passed a
bumpy sleepy crocodile, we slipped up a sandy hill and slid
down the other side, we crept into a dark cold cave...

17. We found our treasure, hip hip hooray!
We can work less and get more play!
