A Treasure And A Curse
                                           Eye See You

    Pintel and Ragetti were chasing Ragetti's wooden eye, which was always falling out and rolling away, and the fact that it was wooden didn't make it the least bit comfortable. Moving past pirates carrying crates and rolling barrels, and hoping nobody would throw it into the sea as a cruel joke, Ragetti crawled along the deck helplessly. A tall, mean-looking pirate stopped it with his foot and looked at Ragetti.

"I could fix this for ye, I'll just need a hammer and a nail." he said.

"No, thank you sir. I'm fine with it falling out and rolling around like that." Ragetti replied, a little frightened by the threat, and picked up his eye and put it back in place.

"Ya know, when we find the treasure, you could by a glass eye, that'll fit." Pintel said, trying to cheer up his friend.

"That would be nice. This one splinters terribly." Ragetti said, rubbing his eye.

"Rubbing it doesn't help any. It just makes it worse." Pintel said.

"I know." Ragetti replied.
