The Pirate Ship
Is that a ship up there, grandpa?
My…my, I didn’t notice it. Of course it is a ship.
What’s it doing up there?
Well, I don’t know. Let’s go and check.
But if it were a pirate ship they might attack us. You once told me that story when you were on that famous ship with Columbus and the pirates…...
Hush; don’t even utter a word about that. It still frightens me to death. 
But why did they cut you up in hundred….
Stop, grandpa shrieked.
But was that story true.
As true as the plants growing on our graves…...

  2. I really like the ambiguity of this story. Grandfather is very imaginative in the tales he tells his grandson!

  9. So imaginative. I like that even ghost grandads tell their grandchildren amazing stories about their past exploits and adventures. Jilly, Sugar on the Bee.

  10. Either the granddad is back from one of his graves or he's a very skilled liar.

  11. Nice story between grandpa and grandson. Grandpa forgets that his grandson listens and remembers every little details and reminds grandpa.
