A Treasure And A Curse
Beginning To Realize
Barbossa sat in his cabin, and took an apple from the bowl on the table. As he took a bite, he noticed something. The apple had no flavor. He took a bite out of another apple, still no flavor. He had forgotten about the curse, so he just thought the apples had gone bad. He took the bowl of apples out onto the deck and tossed them into the sea. He put his empty bowl back on the table. He just couldn't understand how all those apples had tasted perfect yesterday, but had no flavor today.

Meanwhile, out on deck, Pintel was getting a drink of water. But the water was somehow "dry" and had no flavor. He called to Ragetti and asked him to taste it and Ragetti said it felt "dry" and had no flavor to him either.

That night, Frizz stood at the wheel while Barbossa was in his cabin. At first it was cloudy, then moonlight began to show through. As moonlight fell across Frizz's arm, he screamed. For instead of seeing what his arm looked like that morning, he was looking at bone! Everyone ran up on deck to see what was wrong, then they saw it. They were all walking skeletons.
"Captain! Captain!" Frizz said.
Barbossa came running. He stopped suddenly when he saw that his crew were all skeletons, then he looked at his hand. What he once saw as skin was now bone. Now he realized, there was a curse. The reason the apples and water had no flavor was because of the curse. Then he realized, he'd made a mistake. Their troubles had just begun.
