Fill in the blanks and create a story of your own
There once was a pirate named Captain Blackbeard. He was known for his loud voice and his sharp teeth.
One day, while sailing on his rusty ship, he spotted a glowing island in the distance. He ordered his crew to row towards it.
As they approached the island, they saw a huge crab with a golden shell. The crab was sitting on top of a pile of treasures.
Captain Blackbeard and his crew fought the crab, and after a long battle, they won. They took the treasure and sailed away, leaving the sleepy crab behind.
From that day on, Captain Blackbeard was known as the famous pirate who defeated the crab and took his treasure.
