Pirates don’t know
much about school so when I mentioned I’d got in trouble with my teacher for
kicking a football and breaking a window, I thought I’d be all right. The crew
were surprised that a farmer’s son went to school but they loved the story of
how my ball landed in the fish tank (the fish were all right). Then I made my big
mistake. I told them my teacher’s name – Miss Elliot. They all gawped at me. ‘Your
teacher is a woman?’ growled Harry Hopp suspiciously. I’d forgotten that in 1706 all the teachers
were men. I quickly said that of course my teacher wasn’t a woman. His name was
Mister Misselliot!
