Harry Hopp told me how he lost his leg but I’m
not sure I believe him. He said there’d been a tremendous battle with
Blackheart and he was fighting ten men at once and only noticed his leg had
gone when he fell over.
Ned said that was rubbish. Harry had lost it when
he was cutting his toenails with his cutlass. Then Captain Blade chipped in. He
thought Harry had stepped in Peter’s stew when he’d had too much rum. Ben had
heard Harry had lost his leg in a race against a shark. Charlie said they were
all wrong. He’d been born with one leg and his mum had sent him to be a pirate
where his pegleg would fit right in. Sinbad didn’t say anything. He just
sharpened his claws on it.
What do you think, shipmates?
i reckon he got his foot stuck in a clam shell and had to cut his leg off to get free

Deletehe might have his real leg hidden and he wears a peg leg to look hard
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great trick Zoe!
