There were 3 different stories. The pesky parrot, Captain Spike and The Masked Pirate. All of them were interesting but I like The Masked Pirate the best of these three. The hero's name was Sam Sardine. He had a longing for a sailor. He grew up to be a cabin boy. He was always made to do chores, so he felt board. Captain Winkle decided to put him to the test to see if he was fit for a proper sailor's job. However, he made repeated mistakes. One day, he saw a pirate who covered his face with a mask stole Captain Winkle's treasure.

I like the story from that part. I think Sam was not only clever but also courageous! How lucky he found the pirate and hunted him down. Captain Winkle catched the pirate, though.

The pesky parrot was funny. Charlie could get money at the end but I don't want the parrot.

Captain Spike was a good story. What a tender, great-inner, bravely girl she was.
