Chapter 1: The Pirates 

It was Wednesday. The first Wednesday of 

summer vacation. “Come on Sebastian,” said 

Papi, “time to go to the beach.”

Sebastian got his bucket, his shovel, and his 

beach towel. He walked with Papi, Mami, and 

Samantha to the beach. 

When they got to the beach, Sebastian sat on 

his beach towel. He played with his bucket and 

made a big sand castle. Suddenly, Sebastian 

saw a boat out of the corner of his eye. 

“Papi,” called Sebastian, “what is that?” But, 

Papi didn’t hear him.

The boat came closer. “Oh no!” thought 

Sebastian, “what if it is a band of pirates that 

has come to get me!” 

Sebastian watched the boat get closer and saw that his 

prediction was right. It was a boat full of pirates and 

they were coming to get him. A tall pirate hopped out of 

the boat. 

“Are you ready for an adventure?” asked Captain 

Aaargh. 

“I am,” said Sebastian, “oh yes! I am! But I have to ask 

Papi first.” 

“Ok,” said the Captain. 

Sebastian waved at Papi and Papi waved good-bye. “OK 

Captain,” said Sebastian, “let’s go!” 

Sebastian climbed onto the pirate boat. He 

met all the pirates. They were very dirty. He 

met the parrot named Stuart. 

“Hello,” said Sebastian. 

“Hello,” said the parrot named Stuart.

“Where are we going?” Sebastian asked 

Captain Aaargh. 

“We are going to Nepal and China and Bali and 

Lima,” said Captain Aaargh. “We are going to 

bring gold to all the children around the world 

because a long time ago, pirates stole gold, 

but we are good pirates, so we give the gold 

back.” 

It took 243 days, but Sebastian and the Pirates 

sailed around the world. They visited Lima, 

Peru and Bali, an island, and the Great Wall of 

China, and the top of a tall mountain in Nepal 

and sailed on the backs of alligators in Brazil. 

Each place they visited, they gave the children 

treasure chests full of gold. 

"Thank you!" called the children when they 

sailed away.

On the 244th day, Captain Aaargh sailed the 

pirate ship back to Chicago. “Here is the last 

treasure chest,” he said to Sebastian. “Can you 

give it to the children in Chicago?”

“Ay ay Captain,” said Sebastian. 

And he did.

Chapter 2: The Zoo

It was the last day of summer vacation. 

“Can we please go to the zoo,” asked 

Sebastian. 

“Okay,” said Papi.

They walked to the Lincoln Park Zoo. 

At the zoo, Sebastian and Papi saw lions, 

zebras, snakes, penguins, and more animals. 

They drank a lemonade and ate a pretzel. 

Then, they went into the monkey house, 

Sebastian’s favorite place in the zoo. 

“Wait here,” said Papi, “I am going to get 

another pretzel.” 

“Okay,” said Sebastian. He sat down and, 

before he knew it, he fell asleep. 

All of the sudden, he found himself on the 

wrong side of the monkey cage. 

“Oh no!” said Sebastian.
