Grandmother: holds up a glowing, ancient book Look here, dear. Found this in the old library. Magic, they say.
What's that book? It looks like something special.
Ah, it's a diary of adventure, laddie. 'Tis said to belong to a swashbuckling pirate who sailed the seven seas.
Pirate's diary? That sounds exciting. What does it say?
flips through the pages of the diary It tells tales of battles and storms, of hidden treasures and daring escapades.
Wow, that's quite a story. Can you read it aloud for me?
clears her throat and begins reading "The winds howled and the waves crashed against the ship as we sailed through treacherous waters.
yea grandma its really interesting i love to listen to you tell stories
finishes reading "And that was how we found the hidden treasure on the deserted island." closes the diary with a twinkle in her eye
grinning mischievously You know what, lad? We should go on an adventure of our own. Just like the pirate in this diary.
Yea but you need a partner in crime right
winks Well, I reckon you're just the lad for the job. And don't worry, I'll be your trusty first mate.
Yay yay i love adventures
starts rummaging through her closet and pulls out a map Right then, lad. First things first, we gotta gather our supplies.
throws a bag of gold coins and a pouch of jewels at attract That's our loot, lad! 'Tis enough to start our journey off right.
Yea i think i saw a sword in there too
grabs a sturdy walking stick and swings it Aye, lad, that's for defending ourselves against any scurvy sea dogs we might encounter on our travels.
Alright, lad, first we head to the docks. We need to find a ship to take us to our first port of call. starts walking briskly
turns around and winks Don't you worry, lad. When we return, I'll have even more tales to tell and adventures to plan.
