Chapter 16. Sea Monsters, Monkfish and Chips.

Captain Boxer Shorts has had only boring times in the last few days . Perhaps he was abducted by aliens again. That could be exciting, but since they wipe your memory clean ,you can’t remember anything about it!

This is what happened on Thursday.

Captain Boxer Shorts woke up with a start. 

"What’s that noise?" he said to himself.

"Is it a sea monster?

Have we run ashore?"

No, its my old friend, Sea Captain Rory.

"Ahoy There!" he shouted, "are you awake?"

"I am now," mumbled Captain Boxer Shorts, dragging himself out of his hammock.

If ever you have a hammock, don’t put your hammock here!"

Look carefully before climbing into it.

Captain Rory was with his boat the good ship FiArt.

"I’ve come to fill my water barrels with some fresh water from the harbour," he said.

"Hello, Rory!" Captain Boxer Shorts said, "Are you well?"

"How about some lunch later?" he shouted back. 

"OK!" shouted Captain Boxer Shorts, "I'll see you later at the restaurant."

At the restaurant Captain Boxer Shorts ordered lunch.

"I think I will have squid," he said.

"And I will have monk fish," said Rory.

No that’s not right - that's a monk fishing!

This is a monkfish!

"Lots of chips please," they both said.

That's not right, that's a computer chip!

"These are the sort of chips we want!"
