The Adventure of Pirates, Part Three

One afternoon last September, Pete was playing with our “Story Cubes” by himself in the living room floor. This is part three of his tale.

The Adventure of Pirates, Part Three

Welcome to Part Three of the Adventures of Pirates! Dun-dun!

And then [the turtle] searched around the globe for the key! Dun-dun! And then he said “Lightbulb!” and he took a magnifying glass to the moon. And then they met a sad alien, and he cheered him up with going to the moon with him. And they went back to the pyramids and looked for it in the ocean, where the fishes lived. And then they used a magnet to find the key. And then apparently another alien came down.

What will happen next on the Adventures of Pirates? (I betcha can’t wait for Part Four. It has ten parts.)

But it doesn’t really have ten parts. It ends tomorrow! And there are, as yet, still no pirates!

The Adventure of Pirates, Part Two

One afternoon last September, Pete was playing with our “Story Cubes” by himself in the living room floor. This is part two of his creation.

The Adventure of Pirates
Part Two: He finds a way in

by Pete

[The turtle] climbs up to the roof of the castle! And he looks for a special keyhole, which goes with a special key that he can’t find. And then he goes to a pyramid, far away in Egypt. He climbs the castle, and he finds a magnifying glass and he finds a keyhole which goes to a key a long time ago in Egypt, where the pyramids are. And there was an arrow that pointed all the way to Egypt, to the pyramids! And he followed the footprints to a parachuting man. He was the same person, though. He parachuted into a pyramid and then the Indians ran out, and they said “We’re keeping the key for you! Time is almost out before you can rescue the princess!” And then he said, “How many years is that?”

“Twenty.” And then they asked him to look for a key inside the ancient temple.

What will happen next on the Adventures of Pirates?

And where are the pirates? Tune in tomorrow to find out, or possibly to continue wondering.

The Adventure of Pirates, Part One

I can’t think of anything to say these days, but that has never been an issue for Pete. I found evidence of that this evening when I was cleaning of my computer’s desktop. The file was originally opened on September 28, 2012, and it took me a good long while to figure out exactly what’s going on here.

One afternoon Pete was playing with our “Story Cubes” by himself in the living room floor, and this was his creation. I think we might have a mini David Lynch on our hands.

There was a house, and in lived it lived a turtle. He went to a castle, but it was locked. He tried to use the magic cane, and then the magic wand, but he could not do it! He knew why. Because there were apples stuck in the gears, and he couldn’t work. So he saw a keyhole which attended the gears. What will happen next?

He “wrote” the story in multiple parts; tune in tomorrow for the next one!
