"Avast ye maties!" called out Captain TJ from the crow's nest atop the pirate ship the HMS Foxford, "There's treasure to be unearthed!"

Down below, TJ's friends toiled under the hot sun: shivering their timbers; swabbing the deck; tying knots; and other seafaring activities that good pirates are wont to do. Sam, TJ's brother and first mate, grumbled, "I don't see why we have to do all the work, while TJ just stands around doing nothing..."

TJ hollered down, "There'll be no mutiny out of you, or you'll be demoted, little weasel. You'll become cabin boy--better yet--assistant cabin boy! And you'll give up your share of the treasure, too! Now sing me a sea chantey, or you'll be walking the plank by lunchtime."

Cody piped up, "Hey, it is lunchtime! Let's go inside and make some burritos!!"

Everybody went inside and feasted on delicious burritos, just like every good pirate enjoys eating.
