THE STORY OF THE TERRIBLE CAPTAIN BARBOSSA
Now, promise you will go to sleep nice and without excuses...then I will tell you the story of a captain so evil, that hell itself spat him back out.
*I promise, I promise! Tell me the story.*
There once was a first mate called Barbossa. He and his captain, the famous Jack Sparrow -
*Who is he?? I want to hear more about HIM!*
Sssssh...I will tell you about him some other time.
*Owww...*
Now, do you want me to tell you this story or not?
*Yeah, go on!*
Well, this man Barbossa and his Captain Jack Sparrow sailed off with this grand ship named The Black Pearl, to find the dreaded island Isla de Muerta. An island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is.
*Then HOW they supposed to find it?!*
Captain Sparrow happened to have a very special compas...A compass that didn't point north.
*A broken compass? Boy, was he stupid*
No no, they needed that very compass. 'Cause, you see, they weren't trying to find north. And their voyage went welll, they were actually really on their way to reach the island. They were veeeery glad...
*What's on that Isla de Moo.. ehm... Moo-something island anyway?*
Isla de Muerta. There was a real treasure of Aztec gold. A treasure in a chest, hidden by Cortes himself.
*Wow!*
But this was not just some gold... It was said that the gold was cursed by heathen gods. Surely enough that rumour did not keep our pirates away.
*They were very brave, weren't they?*
Well, that depends how you look at it. That Sparrow might have been. But Barbossa....hooo was he a bad man! He had a vicious mind. Barbossa went to the captain and said that since everything was an equal share, the captain should tell the location of the treasure too.
*Huh?*
So Sparrow, an honest pirate who lived up to the Code-
*The Code??*
Yes, the Code of the brethren, that was set down by the pirates Morgan and Bartholomew. It contains what you can call 'rules' for pirates, although recently most pirates consider them more to be guidelines. Anyway, that decent pirate captain Jack Sparrow gave up the bearings of the treasure. That night there was a mutiny...Barbossa took the Pearl and marooned Jack Sparrow.
*I know what that is! That is when you leave a man on a deserted island with nothing to eat or drink. Then he will DIE!*
Very good! Indeed, that Sparrow was about to die on a 'godversaken spit of land', so to speak. So now Barbossa was the captain and he found Isla de Muerta. There it was... the chest... the gold. He took it all! He now was a rich man.
*'S not fair...*
Oh, but he sure got what he deserved. You see, after a little while, he realized that something was terribly wrong...
*Haha!*
Food would turn to ashes in his mouth...
*IEW!!!*
Not literally! ... Drink would not satisfy him... And nothing would be a pleasure to him anymore.... He was a cursed man, he was no longer really alife. So that would mean he could not die.
*Was he immortal? Wow, that came in handy!*
Without any pleasures? What would it feel like if YOU weren't able to taste french fries anymore? Or pancakes?
*Ow. Well, I'd rather die.*
Sigh. That's the very opposite. Anyway, d'you know what the worst part of this story is?
*No...*
Every time he went in the moonlight, the light showed him for what he really was...
*What??*
A skeleton!
*YAAAK!*
Are you sure you won't have ay troubles sleeping?
*Uh uh. I will if you don't go on.*
Okay. Well, Barbossa did not like his life like this either. He loved to eat apples so much, that he would do anything to taste one again.
*Apples?!*
Yes, apples. They are very healthy. An apple a day, keeps sickness away.
*Hm.*
There was one way to lift the curse though. He had to return all the pieces of gold.
*Shouldn't there some blood be involved?!*
I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night because you're having nightmares. Now let me continue my story. Barbossa found all scattered pieces, except for one. He had to kidnap a young woman, Eliabeth, who had the last piece and would not hand it over to him just like that.
*Are you sure it goes like this??*
Hush. Fortunately she had a friend who loved her very much and who wanted to save her.
*They are not going to kiss, are they? Yak!*
Sssh, no! Well yes, but not now. That friend, Will, happened to meet...
*Who?*
...Jack Sparrow!
*I thought he was trapped on that deserted island?!*
O, but ofcourse he escaped. I'll tell you his story another time. Anayway, Sparrow wanted his ship back, so he decided to help Will find his girlfriend. I won't go into details right now, but naturally Jack Sparrow and Will eventually reached Isla de Muerta too.
*Wo ho ho! I want those details!*
No no, I will get hopelessly confused here. Let me get to the moral of this story, will you? When Jack Sparrow and Will arrived, Barbossa was just trying to lift the curse.
*How?*
Ooooh, by some terrible bloody ritual, as you wish! But of course Jack was a good fighter, and Will too, so they fought an fought untill...Hmm, got myself trapped here...
*Well? What happened next?*
Hmmm...well, you know, Jack and Will managed to lift the curse and Barbossa was killed at that very same moment. The end!
*Ow. That was it?*
Yes yes, off to bed now!
*This is a bit dissappointing...And what is exactly the moral here?*
What? Oh yes, a moral...Let me think. Wait, here it is:
ONE SHOULD NOT CRAVE FOR APPLES TOO MUCH!!!
*Duh*
