“Look! The world-famous pirate, Captain Hook, is on that pirate ship,” said General Woo. “Oh no,” said Yan Yan. “Calm down Yan Yan, I’m sure we will get rid of them in no time,” said Zheng He confidently. “Everyone, prepare for the pirates.” Captain Hook was skinny and very tall indeed. He had an eye patch on his left eye. He had a pirate hat and his teeth were as yellow as the chandelier lights. He wore a white shirt, and he had a brown belt on his waist. He had a hook on his right arm, instead of a hand. He also wore baggy trousers. “You won’t win,” said Captain Hook brusquely. The pirates grabbed the gold from Zheng He’s ships greedily. There was a big fight with the pirates. They finally took Zheng He, tied him up and placed him on Captain Hook’s big pirate ship. When Captain Hook and his men were about to leave, there was something pulling the pirate ship and it wouldn’t let the ship go. What happened to the ship? The turtles and their friends There were a bunch of turtles surrounded Captain Hook’s ship. People were flabbergasted. “What will the turtles do next?” “Ahhhhhhhhhh!” screeched Captain Hook. When Captain Hook was about to jump onto another ship and escape, the turtle leader blew a whistle and two sharks, Mrs. and Mr. Shark swam towards Captain Hook, so he couldn’t escape. Zheng He and Yan Yan roared with laughter. A turtle crawled on the pirate ship slowly. It bit off the rope and freed Zheng He. When everyone wasn’t looking, General Woo jumped to the pirate ship and took the gold. He placed them back on Zheng He’s ship. “I have no time for those silly games and I’ll get you all next time,” said Captain Hook through gritted teeth. His face went purple and red. Then the crowd of pirate ships disappeared in the darkness… “Thank you, thank you, this was a really good job,” said General Woo holding a big thumb up for the turtles. “How can we repay your kindness?” asked Zheng He and Yan Yan. “We don’t want the Emperor to eat shark fin soup again because two of our friends had become Emperor Yongle’s lunch,” said Mr. Shark sadly. “I’ll promise you,” said General Woo. Then Zheng He, General Woo, Yan Yan and their men continue their trip to the Western Seas. So, from now on, Chinese people love sea creatures and they won’t eat shark fin soup again, ever and ever.
