Folktale

Ahoy fellow ladies and gentlemen welcome to an enchanted folktale of a Captain’s plot.

Once upon a time long time ago, far out in the deep blue sea lived a sea monster, who captivated the fishes for its own hunger and left no fish for a man to fish. The people of the island plates lay empty. So one day the fishermen gather their gears to destroy the sea monster. They sail at sunrise where the monster will feed at early rise.

The fishermen gather their nets, waiting to see when to capture the monster. Raaaaar the monster came up from the bottom seas and find its self trap in its net. Struggling to get out but no escape. Long sharp jagged teeth, long tentacles, large green structure of about 500 pounds and about 100 foot long, appears to be a monstrous octopus.

“Oh what a mighty monster, so big it can take us all in, but instead it’s trapped! As the fishermen approach the monster to destroy it. One of the tentacles got out lashing two of the fishermen off the ship. Ahoy captain stir the ship pulling away, circling around the monster, then captain surrounds the monster with a anchor chain pulling the net. The monster is stuck now!

As the captain latches the monster in a net bundle, pulling the monster to shore, out of the water hang to dry. The monster no longer can eat all the fish. So now the fishermen men freely got on their gears, went diving, fishing and caught snapper fish for the Captain and the fishermen Market is once again open for fishing.

Moral of the story: It takes a captain and real fishermen to get the fish even when the monster is trying to take it all. Bravery stands for all seamen.
