Pirates

One pirate named Jack was recruiting lads in a tavern once. Nobody signed up for two hours. I sat down next to him, we drank a bottle of rum and he started telling me a never-before-heard story. It was something like: "We were ambushed at night, by another group of pirates. Most of us fell in the fight. They tied up the captain's legs and threw him overboard. They were planning to sell me and a few others into slavery. Because I knew our ship very well, I was able to slip away at night. I swam to a nearby island totally exhausted, but alive. For a few days, I mapped out the adjacent jungle, which was divided by a river. In the middle of the river, I found a hut and in it a woman - a witch." He drank some rum and continued: "My arrival was obviously expected. She gave me a compass that points to your heart's desire, her necklace, and a bottle with clay. Allegedly, it would come in handy in the upcoming days. And now, what I desire most is to find the Fountain of Eternal Youth. My Black Pearl is docked in the harbor, but I am looking for a brave crew. The journey won't be a walk in the park, but the reward at the end is massive." He turned to me and asked: "So, young man, are you ready for the adventure of your life?" ALL PIRATES ON DECK AND WE'RE OFF!
