     One day while sailing the seven seas, 

Captain Joe the pirate and his loyal crew began 

to discuss their plans for the day.

     "Arrg, ladies and gentlemen." Captain Joe 

roared. "As you know, we found ye treasure 

map floatin' in the ocean containing the 

location of a treasure chest."

     "Arrrrrrrrg!" the crew said with happiness 

and excitement.

     "Yes. As your captain, I say we sail out to 

Tinytoes Island and try to find ye booty!"

     "Arrrrrrrrrrrrg!" The crew replied again.

All of the crew agreed, except Captain Joe's 

wife, Pauline the Pirate. 

     "I've been thinking, captain, there's this 

thing called opportunity cost," Pauline 

explained.

     "We Don't need none of that Yankee 

mumbo jumbo." Billy, the first mate said.

     "Hear me out! I believe we have a chance 

to get more booty if we sail into shore and sell 

off all the goods we have pillaged and 

plundered."

     "Look up in the sky, Pauline! You see those 

clouds? A storm's comin'. If we don't try to get 

the treasure now, water spouts will keep us 

from even trying to get ye treasure!" Bob the 

sailor said. 

     "Wait a minute, lads!" Captain Joe 

interrupted. "I think Pauline is onto somethin'. 

We can't carry any more loot because the loot 

we have has taken up all of the space in the 

hull. I say we put this at a vote. All in favor of 

goin' to get ye treasure?"

     Bob and Billy both said, "Arrrg!"

     "All opposed?"

     Captain Joe, Pauline, and Billy's parrot all 

said, "ARRRRRGG."

     The pirates set sail for Port Willingford to 

sell off their loot. After 10 minutes of 

unloading the ship and collecting their money, 

the pirates stopped at the pub to have some 

celebration drinks. They ran into Captain Joe's 

good friend, Captain Jackson and his crew.

     "Ye fellows won't believe what just 

happened to us!" Captain Jackson said with a 

gloomy tone.
