SPEAKER_00 (01:17):
One day, a little boy named Miles was in his car
on the way to Kinder.
His mum was driving and he wasin the back seat.
They were listening to music andsinging along together.
When all of a sudden, Milesnoticed something out of his
window.
Um Mum?
Yes, Miles.
There's a pirate ship outside ofour window.
(01:38):
Don't be silly, Miles, said hismum.
There can't be a pirate ship outof your window.
Ah, but there is, said Miles, ashe pointed out his window.
His mum looked across, and sureenough, there was a giant pirate
ship right next to their car.
Ah screamed his mum.
Where did that come from?
I dunno, said Miles, but look,there's a pirate up there, and
(01:59):
he's waving.
His mum opened the window to seewhat was going on.
When she opened it, the piratebegan to speak.
Ahoy there! Be you the mum ofMiles?
Um, yes, said Miles' mum.
Can you open his window?
Uh okay, she said, and she wounddown Miles' window.
Myles looked out and waved atthe pirate.
(02:21):
Hi, he said.
Hello, Myles.
My name be Captain Peggy Pants,and I have a very exciting
adventure.
Would you like to join me?
Really?
said Miles.
Really, said Pirate Peggypants,because he was very, very
excited to have Miles on hisboat.
Is that alright with you, mum ofMiles?
(02:42):
Miles' mum turned to the pirate.
Um okay, she said.
Hooray, said Miles.
How do I get up onto the pirateship?
Ah, I will throw ye a rope, hesaid.
And Pirate Peggypants threw arope straight in Miles' window.
The trouble was the rope wasn'tactually attached to anything,
so the whole thing just wentinside the car.
(03:03):
Um, how does this work?
said Miles.
I can't climb up it, it's nottied to your ship.
Ah, I knew I'd be forgettingsomething.
Hang on, let me try again.
Pirate Peggy Pants grabbedanother rope, and this time he
made sure to tie it to thepirate ship first.
Then he threw it straightthrough the window of the car.
Miles grabbed onto the rope andstarted to climb out.
I'll see you later, mum, hesaid.
(03:24):
Bye, she said.
Aha, said Pirate Peggy Pants, asMiles climbed aboard.
It'd be time to set sail.
Alright, here we go.
But Pirate Peggy Pants, yourpirate ship is on the road.
How are we going to sail?
My pirate ship doesn't just sailon water, it can sail in the air
(03:44):
as well.
Alright, hoist the main sails,he yelled, and pirates came out
of everywhere and startedoperating all the different
things on the ship.
Yes, captain, we be getting it!That'd be good.
Alright, I best be taking thehelm.
Do you know what the helm is?
said Pirate Peggy Pants.
I do, said Miles.
That's the giant steering wheelon a pirate ship.
Aha, we have a clever one.
unknown (04:06):
Huh?
SPEAKER_00 (04:07):
Clever, clever, said a bird, as it flew down and
landed on Peggy Pants' shoulder.
Whoa that's cool, said Miles.
Where did that come from?
said Peggy Pants.
He waved the bird off hisshoulder and it took to the air.
Is that not your bird?
said Miles.
Ah no, that's not my bird.
Get off me, he yelled again ashe waved the bird into the air.
Um, well, where did it comefrom?
(04:27):
Urk, come from, come from, saidthe bird.
What is it talking about?
said Pirate Peggy Pants.
I don't know, said Miles.
Hang on.
Miles put his hand out, and thebird landed on his hand.
Lost, lost, said the bird.
I think it's lost, said Myles.
Har well, if it be lost, we bestbe helping it find its way home.
(04:48):
Where is your home, bird?
Erk, lost, it said.
Oh dear, said Miles.
We don't know where its home is.
And it doesn't seem to be ableto tell us.
Haha, well, there be a way tofind out where a bird be coming
from.
It's an old sailing trick thatwe use to help us navigate and
find new shores.
(05:08):
Really?
said Miles.
Not really, but maybe let's try,yelled Pirate Peggy Pants.
As he laughed and chuckled, themen on the pirate ship all
cheered.
Huzzor! They were very excited.
Well, how are we going to do it?
said Miles.
Um, let's put the bird on thehelm and see where it goes.
I'm not sure that that's a goodidea, said Miles.
(05:29):
It'd be the best idea we have,said Pirate Peggy Pants.
As he lifted the bird off Milesand put it on his own shoulder,
he walked over towards the helm.
Alright, Birdie, here you go.
Take the helm.
He lifted it off and placed iton the helm of the ship.
When it got there, the birdstarted to run, and as it ran,
(05:50):
the helm started to turn.
Ahoy! We be going this way,yelled Pirate Peggy Pants.
Huzzah! yelled all the otherpirates.
Huzzah! yelled Miles.
He was starting to get quiteexcited as well.
The ship took off and startedflying off into the air.
It was very exciting.
Then the bird started tostraighten up the ship.
(06:10):
Ah, it must be this way, saidPirate Peggy Pants.
It must be, said Miles.
This way, this way, said thebird.
It was an exciting littleadventure, and the pirate ship
started heading off.
As Miles was sitting on thedeck, he wondered, hey, Peggy
Pants, what do you normally dowhile you're sailing and you're
waiting to get where you get to?
Aur, we play pirate games, saidPirate Peggy Pants.
(06:33):
What a pirate game, said Miles.
Come see! As Pirate Peggy Pantswalked down to the deck, he
called out to the other pirates,Okay, boys, it's time for some
games.
Who's in?
Huzzah! They all yelled as theyjumped from different directions
and swung down on ropes and alllanded on the deck.
Then, when they landed on thedeck, Pirate Peggy Pants stood
in front of them all.
(06:53):
Alright, the first game that webe playing is Choppy Chop Chop.
What's Choppy Chop Chop?
said Miles.
We all use our swords and we tryand chop things on the deck.
But our swords are a little bitdifferent.
Hang on, do you have a sword?
said Pirate Peggy Pants.
Um, I don't have a sword, saidMiles.
Or well, we best be getting youa sword.
(07:15):
Jeffrey, get this man a sword!Just then, a funny looking
pirate stumbled onto the deck.
He ran over to one of the bigbarrels that was sitting there
and pulled one out.
He gave it to Miles.
Miles looked at it.
Um Pirate Peggy Pants?
Yes, Miles, said Pirate PeggyPants.
This sword is wobbly.
(07:35):
Haha, that be the fun! The fun,said Miles.
Yes, when we're playing chopchop with wobbly swords, it
looks very silly.
Are you ready?
One, two, three, chop-chop!yelled Pirate Peggy Pants, and
all the pirates started swingingtheir wobbly swords all over the
pirate ship.
They'd try and bang them intothe mast and smack them on the
deck and even try and hit thebarrels, but because the swords
(07:56):
were so wobbly, it didn'tactually do any damage.
The thing that it did do thoughwas make some very funny noises.
Bloom boom bring blom blong boombring bloom bloom bling brom
bling brong bloom.
Miles thought this washilarious.
I'm gonna have a turn, he said.
I'm gonna try and chop Actually,I don't know.
What should I chop?
(08:16):
You should chop my legs, saidPirate Peggy Pants.
What?
said Miles.
Yes, see both my legs be made ofwood.
If you try and chop them withyour sword, it might make a
funny noise.
Um, are you sure?
said Miles.
Of course, go for it.
So Miles swung his wobbly swordtowards Pirate Peggy Pants'
legs.
When it bumped into his firstleg, bring! Oh, that was a good
(08:37):
one.
Try the other one, he said.
So Miles swung the sword aroundthe other side, and when he hit
Pirate Peggy Pants' other leg,what was that?
said Pirate Peggy Pants.
I dunno, said Miles, but it wasfunny.
Erk, home, home, erk, said thebird.
They raced over to the side ofthe pirate ship to see where
they were.
(08:57):
Um, bird, said Miles.
Erk, yes?
That's my home.
Erk, aren't we?
Your home.
said the bird.
No, said Pirate Peggy Pants.
We're meant to be going to yourhome, bird.
Don't have home.
Don't erk.
Don't have home.
You don't have a home.
(09:18):
No.

Well, there only be one solutionfor that.
said the bird.
What's the solution?
said Miles.
Well, every good pirate needs apirate bird.
Birdie, would you like to be mybird and come with me on my
pirate ship?
said the bird, with a veryexcited look on its face.
(09:40):
Huzzar! Ah, see?
He be a pirate bird already.
That is fantastic, said Miles.
Well, what are we going to donow then?
Well, there's another game welike to play.

How do we play cannonballs ofchaos?
said Miles.
Well, Pirate Peggy Pants said.
First we need to load thecannons.
Go grab the cannonballs, boys!So all the pirates started
racing around the ship, pickingup funny looking cannonballs.
(10:22):
Um, those look a little bitdifferent, said Miles.
Yes, they are different.
Grab one, load it up, put it in,said Pirate Peggy Pants.
Okay, said Miles.
So he picked up one of thecannonballs.
It wasn't as heavy as hethought, and it's actually

So everybody took aim with theircannons.
Five, four, three, two, one,fire yelled Pirate Peggy Pants.
And with that, all the piratesfired their cannons.

that were underneath them, offthe front of cars, into parks
and into playgrounds.
It was so funny.
