The Pirates

One spring morning, Jesse said, “Let's play pirates.”

He had a bandana around his head, and he was holding his telescope.

“I don't want to play pirates,” Sam said.

“But I'd like to find some pirate gold.”

“We can dig for gold,” Jesse said.

“Where should we dig?

And what do you think we'll find?”

“We'll find dirt,” Sam said.

“And maybe we'll find worms.”

He smiled.

“But then we could go fishing.”

Papa heard them talking.

He said, “You know, boys, there were pirates around here, really long ago.”

“Really?” Jesse asked.

“Yes,” Papa said.

“And the pirates did bury gold.

Maybe the gold is right in this yard.”

Sam wasn't sure about that.

“Someone must have found that gold long ago,” he said.

“You never know,” Papa said.

“I may have an old pirate map somewhere around here.

Why don't you get some digging tools?

I'll look for that map.”

So Sam and Jesse got shovels out of the tool shed.

Papa met them on the lawn.

He had a rolled-up sheet of brown paper in his hand.

“I found it!” Papa said.

He unrolled the paper.

It was a map.

The map showed the house and the front walk.

It had a big X on each side of the walk.

“Hurray!” Jesse cheered.

“A real pirate's map!

And it has two Xs, one for each of us.

Let's start digging.”

Papa helped them get started.

Then he went back into the house.

As soon as Papa left, Sam shook his head.

“This map is not very old,” he said.

“It has the house and the front walk on it.”
