Brilliant Jimmy
Pui Ching Primary School, Lum, Wai Ching Charissa - 11
It was a beautiful sunny day. The sky was blue and had a lot of differently shaped clouds, like lion shapes,
sheep shapes and others too! There were many birds! Some were flying in the sky and some were singing on
the tree. There were also some pretty butterflies too! This island was named Lucky Island. Everyone loved
to go there because the air was fresh there! It had many plants, like beautiful flowers, tall trees and green
grass! The boundless and blue sea around the island had many colorful fishes, cute seahorses and shiny sea
stars. It was very amazing when the sun’s rays shine on the sea. How wonderful it was! There were also
some big and small houses on the mountain. Some sharp hills, which were covered with green grass and
small flowers were beautiful! Sometimes, you could also see some animals’ likes rabbits, sheep and goats too!
Jimmy, who was the good pirate, always sailed The Jimmy everywhere. He always went to Lucky Island
to find treasures because he loved the attractive scenery. However, this island is so far that he needed to take
a long time to get there. He was a brave, smart and nice boy. He had brown hair, big eyes with brown and
round pupils. He had a long nose and red lips He was very tall and has strong muscles like a giant. He always
smiled to everyone!
Last month, Jimmy met Captain Devils who stood with his group of bad people like Michael and Albert;
the others were on the Lucky Island. Captain Devils spent his life at sea. They liked using their ships to rob
other people’s gold and used ropes to tie up people on the ship. Therefore, everyone knew they were pirates
and were frightened by them. That day, Captain Devils felt very bored and they went to Lucky Island to
steal other people’s gold and discover new treasures.
Peter was Jimmy’s best friend who was very poor because his father was not around when he was young.
So, he sold all his property to make a small boat. He wanted to go to the Lucky Island to find a big box of
gold that he can have some money! Peter was ready to take the treasures he found and leave the island.
Unluckily, Peter met the Captain Devils’ pirates and they wanted to take away Peter’s gold. Peter was being
bullied! Suddenly, Jimmy appeared and asked, “What are you doing to this small boy and why do you make
him cry?”
“We didn’t make him cry!” They said, “We didn’t yell at him either! We’re only playing or chatting with
him.”
“Is he right?” asked Jimmy.
“No,” Peter said, “they stole my gold! They said if I don’t give them all the gold, they will kill me and my
family!”
“Is that true?” Jimmy said.
“No, that is wrong!” said one of the bad guys.
“It is true!” said the little boy.
Jimmy knew the bad guys were lying because they were pirates! Therefore, he asked them to give all the
gold back to Peter. The bad guys did because they were scared of the gigantic Jimmy. After a few minutes,
the bad guys ran away. Peter thanked Jimmy.
“You are a brave, smart and friendly person!” said Jimmy.
Two days later, Jimmy became a local hero. He visited Lucky Island again. It was a perfect sunny day! He
thought there were not any bad guys again so he walked very slowly and happily. After he walked to the
middle of the island, he saw a boat with a flag, which had Evil Devils written on its side, and he saw Ken
who was his best friend on it. “Help me! Help me! Can anyone help me?” He screamed loudly. He was
very scared of the bad guys because they looked very angry and they were trying to kill him. He wanted to
escape from the bad guys but they used a big rope to tie him on the wooden pole. Jimmy was very angry
and thought, “Why do I always meet Captain Devils? And why do they always steal my friend’s gold?”
Then, Jimmy called some people to help; Dick and Joseph and they found a big ship to rescue Ken. They
pretended to be friends with the bad guys. Fifteen minutes later, they took The Jimmy near the bad guy’s
boat. They separated into two teams, one to rescue Ken and the other team went up to give the treasure to
the bad guys. They put a lot of heavy rocks which were painted in gold in the treasure box. The other team
walked slowly to Ken while Jimmy gave the treasure box to them. When they went away to the Evil Devils
Boat, the bad guys did not know there was nothing inside the treasure box except rocks! Then, Ken
thanked Jimmy, Simonson, Dick and Joseph for the help and also gave them some fish, meat and fruit.
