Tim and Pirate Redbeard

By Riley Koyanagi

Tim, a boy who uses AAC, wanted to work on a ship.  Redbeard, a pirate, had a ship.  The only thing they eat on this ship is sushi.  The only thing they drink on this ship is root beer.  Redbeard said “Do you like sushi?”  Tim said “I like sushi”.  Redbeard said “Do you like root beer?”  Tim said “I like root beer.”  Redbeard said “You can work on my ship”.

Everything was fine until one day when they were eating lunch.  Everybody worked so hard that day.  And everybody was hungry.  There was only 1 piece of sushi left.  Redbeard tried to grab the sushi and Tim tried to grab the sushi at the same time.  They got into a terrible fight.  Suddenly, Tim’s necklace broke!  Tim was sad – very, very sad.  Redbeard said “I’m sorry.  You can have the sushi”.  Tim was happy, very very happy.
