Summary: Mmmkay, I just finished reading a book of Aesop's Fables, and this idea popped into my head: Why not rewrite them with the PotC characters? So, behold! Here it is.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Bugger.
Chapter 1: The Cock and the Pearl
One fine day a cock was strutting up and down the farmyard. But this cock was not just any old cock. This cock was a man named Beckett. Beckett was strutting in front of the hens, showing off to them. These hens were not just any hens- oh, wait, yes they were. They were just plain old hens.
Anyhow, while Beckett was showing off, he suddenly spotted something glittering amid the straw. "Hoho, lo and behold!" quoth he, "I see something shiny- and it's for me!"
With that, Beckett dove into the straw, and came back up holding a pearl. "Oh, curses," quoth Beckett, "You may beith a treasure to some, but to me- you are nothing! NOTHING!"
He threw it down on the ground, and scoffed, "To me, thou wouldst only be a treasure if you were a belly dancing outfit. Humph."
And with that proclamation, he turned away, and began showing off to the plain hens again.
Suddenly, (Captain!) Jack Sparrow appeared in a puff of hot pink smoke filled with glitter. "Pearl!" he shouted, diving onto the pearl that Beckett had discarded.
And with that, he disappeared in another smoke puff.
Precious things are for those that can prize them.
