CAPTAIN FRANK


Long ago there lived a brave English seafarer named Captain Frank.
He was a courageous man who showed
no fear in facing his enemies.

One day, while sailing the seven seas, a look-out spotted
a pirate ship,and the crew became frantic.
Captain Frank bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt."
The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, and,
after donning the shirt, the captain led his crew into battle
and defeated the pirates.

Later on, the look-out spotted not one, but two pirate ships. The captain
again howled for his red shirt and once again vanquished the pirates.

That evening, all the men sat around on the deck recounting the day's triumphs,
and one of them asked the captain: "Sir, why did you call
for your red shirt before each battle?" The captain replied:
"If I am wounded in the attack, my crew won't notice my bleeding
and will continue to fight,unafraid."
All of the men sat in silence and marveled
at the courage of their captain.

As dawn came the next morning, the look-out spotted not one,
not two, but TEN pirate ships approaching.
The rank and file all stared at the captain and waited for his usual request.

Captain Frank calmly shouted: "Bring me my brown pants!"
