Silver and the three Pirates

Weeks passed and the crabs multiplied! Now there were seven crabs! The crew tried to kill one of them. It was very hard but in the end they used a hammer made from rock and a small stick. They hit the crab four times, and they killed it. John said that the crab meat was fantastic, but one of the pirates said that the meat tasted like "droppings".

More days passed, and the crew were loosing all their hope. Suddenly, out of nowhere, without any reason, John encountered a ship named "Hépíng". It was a small Chinese ship and it belonged to some old fisherman. He was very nice to the crew, and he was willing to help them. The crew took some food, 4 crabs and they entered the ship. Finally, they returned to their homes, but with a new mission - to find and kill the people that left them on the island.

Silver looked at his fellow comrades and said, We have no boat, we are going to be stuck here for a while... One of the pirates answered, Yup.

The next few hours were mostly quiet, Silver and his comrades were just sitting there with no hope left.

Then one of the pirates stood up and yelled at the crew, It's all your fault! You weren't strong so you didn't get the treasure! Then everyone got quiet. This silence was broken by two gun shots - John shot one pirate two times. The two still alive pirates were terrified, but John was smilling during the whole action.

The next day they were out of food. Silver asked the rest of the crew, What are we going to do? They were sitting in silence ignoring John. John yelled, Hurry up! We don't have much time! One of the pirates said, Maybe a crab colony? Silver answered, Good idea, but I don't know anything about crabs and wildlife on this island.

The pirates were running out of time, but they had new hope - Crab Colony.

The days were passing and the crew were eating everything edible. Small mammals, soup and canned food, but the food wasn't endless. They had to do something, but what could they do?

Silver and the Three Pirates

At last Silver returned home but he was having pangs of conscience. He left his old crew on an unknown to them island. He bought a small ship and sailed back to the island. It was the middle of the night. His ship crashed while he was trying to stop it. Luckily, he got to the shore safely. After a short walk he entered the house. His old crew were asleep during his arrival. When they woke up, they ignored the fact that Silver had earlier left them.

They grabbed the crabs. It wasn't easy for them, but it was a succesfull expedition!

Next they locked the crabs in the house. Then John said, I've got a plan! We will dig a hole, cover the bottom with some sand and place the crabs in the hole. The rest of the crew said in a sarcastic tone, Fantastic idea! You are a genius!

The next day, they went on an expedition to find some crabs. In the first minutes they could not find anything, but after an hour one of the pirates yelled, I got one! The rest of the crew approached him, and John said, It's a... it's a coconut crab! It is one of the strongest crabs in the world! It can break coconuts and eat birds! Ugh..., our quest is going to be harder than usual, but we can still try...

Silver took it as a compliment, and he was proud of himself. After some time they realized their goal. One of the pirates said, That was a very busy day!
