"Tell us the story," said the small child, jumping from one foot to the other, a smile lighting her face in the flickering light of the lanterns.
"Which story would that be my dear?" came the reply as he sat a little straighter on the upturned barrel. Running a finger through his thick beard to scratch an itch. The other children gathered about.
"A pirate story" said a voice, in a high pitched tone.
"Well my dears, me being a pirate I should know plenty of those, I meant which would you have me tell this time?"
"Surprise us," said the little girl who had stopped bouncing to settle herself on the deck by her comrades.
"Well now" said the old pirate, curling his beard around his fingers in thought, looking out over the vast ocean "A tale I haven't told. Cant be many of those, the vast amount you have me tell you."
Glancing down over his audience he leant over, placing a lantern on a barrel by their side, casting an eerie light over their upturned faces. His eyes twinkled; the sweat on his dirty brow glistened by the light.
"Have I ever told you the tale of the Black Pearl?" he asked the small faces.
"Yes" came a reply from a boy of nine or ten in a matter of fact way.
"But have I ever told you the tale of how she first came about boy?" he asked again "Of how once she was just a ship, like all the others. Before pirates took hold of her and made her what she is today?"
He took the hushed silence before him as a sign to continue.
"Aye she were a fine ship, not as fine as when black graced her sails and the scurvy crew of Jack Sparrow and the likes took over. She sailed these seas carrying cargo from one port to the other. Finest ship that ever graced the seas. I remember the day I first saw her...."
