Peter Pan (9)

(6) The Island Comes True

Now that Peter was on his way back, the Neverland came to life.

The Lost Boys set out to look for their captain. 

The pirates were looking for the Lost Boys.

The redskins were stalking the piraes, and the wild animals were tracking the redskins !

They all went round and round the island in circles and never caugh up with each other.

There were six LOST BOYS:
There wa Tootles (the unlucky one), Nibs (the cheerful one), Slightly (the conceited one) and Curly the pickle.
He was so often in trouble he used to confess to things he hadn't done !
Lastly there were the Twins.

They all crept along behind the bushes in single file, clutching their daggers.

Then came the PIRATES with thier black beards and evil looks, some wearing gold coins for earrigs, others tattooed all over.

They were all ruffians, known and feared on the Spanish Main.

They had names like Cecco, Bill Jukes, Skylight and Gentleman Starkey.
The worst one, because he looked so meek and mild and wore spetacles , was Smee the Bos'un.

He had a cutless, named Jimmy Corkscrew, which he used to wriggle in this  victim's wounds.

Their leader Catain Jas (short for james ) Hook was the  blackest rogue of all.
He feared   nothing, except the sight of his own blood, which was an ugly colour.
He treated his men like dogs and smoked two cigars at once, in a special holder.
