Hi, my name is Ronger and I am coming home from the New World with Mordacai McJellyfish, our captain. He never gets mad at me or the 1st mate, but gets me upset in every other way. I am the only one that can read, and it annoys me that nobody else can read the writing on the anchor that said, “Made in Spain”. I guess I couldn’t argue with the Helmsman or the 1st mate. I think the mate can read but he doesn’t want to, and I’ve heard the helmsman has been sailing small to large sail boats since he was 4 so…. The crewmate I work with when I do
my work, is very shy but very smart.
What I’d rather be doing is becoming a knight to serve the King and Queen of Spain. Also I love the silver armor, I feel unbeatable that way. But then again, I would have to deal with horses, but I’ve ridden lots of horses when I was younger. Now becoming the royal knight(sorry, just a regular knight)would mean receiving orders from the Queen and things have not gone well between Mordacai and Queen Isarouton, so I’d hope
I am with the king.

My complaints are two, one Hunchback Harry, and the other one that the ship is sinking. If only the Princess Odelia did not exist. Harry always talks about her all the time and I get annoyed. Another problem is that the boat is sinking and, we all have to go in the bathtub.
My dreams are two, again. I want to be rich and to be not afraid. I rather not be afraid of sharks for instance. I am very afraid of them. I really, really hope to be rich one day, after I had conquered the Seven Seas.
My family, well I do not have a family, but I am definitely not very responsible, as Captain Mah Jong Ping Pong always has to tell me what to do. My job is a pirate. I love it because I get to go from sea to sea robbing Spanish galleons. That is me, Belching Bob the pirate. The end
