Captain Bluebeard's Lost Treasure

Once upon a time, there was a pirate named Captain Bluebeard. He had a big, blue beard!

He sailed on a ship named The Sea Serpent. It was a very fast ship.

Captain Bluebeard loved to look for treasure. He had a map.

The map showed where gold was buried.

One day, Captain Bluebeard and his crew sailed to a small island. They looked everywhere for the gold. They dug in the sand.

They looked behind the big rocks.

But they could not find the gold. Captain Bluebeard was very sad.

Then, a little bird landed on his shoulder. The bird chirped and pointed with its wing. It pointed to a tall palm tree.

Captain Bluebeard looked up. He saw a wooden chest tied to the tree!

He climbed up and opened the chest. It was full of gold coins and jewels!

Captain Bluebeard and his crew were very happy. They sailed back to their home. They shared the treasure with everyone.

From that day on, Captain Bluebeard was known as the nicest pirate on the sea.
