Jack is being held prisoner by Captain Blackheart and he can’t even tell his parents where he is. In this episode, Jack is introduced to Pirate Cuisine on the High Seas, and things go from bad to worse.
Duration 10. 14 – read by Natasha.
Just in case, you can’t quite remember what happened so far, Jack was a boy of seven who went off to sailing school one summer. But there was a bit of a mix-up…and Jack found himself at pirate school instead.
He’d been dressed in old rags by the cabin boy Ben.
But when he asked to tell his mum and dad where he was…it turned out he’d been taken prisoner.
“We don’t tell parents that anyone is at pirate school,” said Captain Blackheart, in a voice so menacing it sent a shiver down Jack’s spine.
And then he roared with laughter.
And all the pirates laughed with him.
Even Ben was laughing.
“Because you’re a prisoner!” roared Captain Blackheart.
“A prisoner,” said Jack. “Oh….”
“Your not scared are you, Jack,” said Captain Blackheart.
“Me, scared,” said Jack, just a little nervously. “Naaaahhhhh….”
“Well, that’s good then, me hearty….because there’s no room for scaredy-cats on this pirate ship.
And saying that, Captain Blackheart waved his rusty hook through the air.
“All the men on his ship have left their families behind many years ago, and they all joined us as boys,” the Captain continued.
He pointed to the rogues and ruffians lined up on the deck.
“How many years since you saw your family, Black Spot?”
An ugly looking ruffian with a giant black spot on his face stepped forward. “I reckon it be twenty years, captain.”
“And how about you, One Leg?”
A vicious looking rascal with a stump where his leg should be stepped forward. “At least fifty years, captain,” he said.
“And you, Razor, what about you?”
And a Pirate with the biggest nose that Jack had ever seen stepped forwards. “At least a hundred years, captain.”
“So you see lad, when you sign up with Captain’s Blackheart’s Pirate Ship you leave your family behind. Forever….”
“But we’d all rather sail the seven seas with Captain Blackheart,” cried the pirates with one voice.
“And so would I,” said Jack.
Except really he wasn’t so sure. Because a hundred years at sea seemed an awfully long time.
Still, never mind he thought.
It looks like great fun.
More fun than playing with his silly and soppy six sisters back at home anyway.
“So how do I start being a pirate, sir?” asked Jack.
Captain Blackheart scratched his chin with his rusty metal hook and thought for a moment.
“You could start with the climbing of the rigging,” he said.”Or we could put you on crow’s nest duty. Or maybe even a small lesson in how to set up a plank so that any dastardly villains we come across can be made to walk it.”
“Cripes, that sounds like fun.”
“Indeed it does, my lad,” said Captain Blackheart. “Then again, we could teach you how to fire a broadside, or practice sharpening your cutlass.”
“Or raising the Jolly Rodger,” said Jack.
“Aye, that and all, lad,” said the Captain. “But first you’ll help Ben here make some lunch.”
And so Jack followed Ben down into the galley of the ship.
It had been a long, long morning so far, and Jack was feeling a bit peckish.
I wonder what pirates have for lunch, though Jack.
At school, they usually had chicken and chips, or spag bol, or else fish fingers and beans. And there was often ice cream and apple crumble for pudding. And Jack usually polished it all off — and his sisters’ lunch as well, if there was any left.
I bet pirate grub is fantastic, he decided.
“Okay,” said Ben. “You get the jellied sheep’s eyes, and I’ll slice up the snake.”
Jack felt a bit queasy all of a sudden. And a lot less hungry.
“You do like sheep’s eyes, don’t you,” said Ben. “And snake?”
“Well, er…”
“Or if you prefer, we can moved straight onto the stewed worms? Or the bug burger?”
“Right, er…”
Jack felt his skin go a little green.
“I hope your not one of those sissy land lubbers who just likes bacon, and sausages, and fish fingers, and all that type of grub,” said Ben. “Because here on the pirate ship we eat sheep’s eyes and worms and bugs ….and everything.”
“Right,” said Jack. “Sounds great.”
And so they started on lunch. They tossed the sliced worms, the chopped bug burgers, the sheep’s eyes and the snake into a big pot, and they stirred and stirred until a big stew was ready.
And then carried it up onto the deck.
Captain Blackheart’s ship was a long way out to sea now, and Jack couldn’t see any land at all.
Which ever way you looked, there was just sea, sea and more sea.
And a fierce wind was starting to blow.
Making the ship rock form side to side.
And there were big waves starting to splash across everyone.
Ben put the bowl of stew down on the centre of the deck.
And all the pirates lined up with their tin plates. Ben scooped out a big spoonful of stew into each one, and they gobbled it all up.
“Here’s yours,” said Ben, putting a big pile of stew on Jack’s plate.
It smelled horrible.
Like a pile of old socks, and football jerseys.
And as the wind blew, the ship rocked from side to side.
And Jack began to feel a bit sick.
“Don’t waste it, lad,” said Captain Blackheart.
Jack took one small bite.
And it was the most horrible thing he’d ever tasted – even worse than granny’s beef stew, and that was so bad all his sisters had had to lie down after eating it.
“I said don’t waste it, lad,” said Captain Blackheart, waving his hook at Jack.
Jack tried another bite – but spat it out.
“Is it the sheep’s eyes or the sliced worm you don’t like, lad,” said Captain Blackheart.
“I put in some shark tongue,” said Ben. “Maybe he doesn’t like that…”
And at that moment, Jack felt so queasy, he ran to the side of the ship, and was a violently sick.
When he walked back, the Captain was looking very serious indeed.
“I don’t think this lad’s up for a life on the ocean,” he said. “I reckon we’ll put him up for ransom.”
“For ransom…” cried Jack.
“Aye, lad,” said Captain Blackheart. “I reckon your parents will pay a pretty penny to get you back. Better that than see you walk the plank…”

It was really exiting and fun. Also it had loads
of adventure inside the story. It was fun,

WOW!!! ABSULUTLY WOW!!!
IT IS VERY,VERY EXCITING. (THOUGH A LITTLE BIT SCARY.)
Not bad at all.
If I am him I will want my mummy.
It was funny when Jack ate all that food and vomited(‘cos of all that disgusting food.I hope that he vomited on top of the ship but i hope that his father will pay 1 penny instead of $1000000!!
I liked the part when Jack vomited off the boat.I felt sorry for him when the worms made him sick.
i like part 3 because he ate the shark tongue and it was gross
I felt very sorry for Jack – it made me feel really sick because the pirate food was disgusting. This is also the part where Captain Blackheart wanted a ransom form Jack’s parents it started to be quite frightening.
I think it will be the yuckiest thing i ever ate if i ate the sheep eyes and the snake and the sharks tounge and all the other stuff that jack ate and the story was gross when jack ate the sheep eyes and all that stuff I think all of the parts will be very interesting
I like it!
Part 3 had so yukky words like eating sheep’s eyes. But the story was ok. I think that the yukky words were for better expression.
I don’t think Jack like the food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where did the pirates get the worms and the sheep
I like this part better
I think that if i tried the stew i wouldnt like it.
I think it was fun and a bit gross(only the food)and i hope Jacks parents will pay a penny instead of jack walking the plank.can’t WAIT to hear part FOUR!!!!!!!
It really scared me a lot when he had to eat all that yuk food on the pirate ship.It’s really
awful to not see your family forever.Pirate
black heart and people are so mean to Jack
and his family.I think Jack should run away
from the ship.

from the ship and never come back again.
I like the part when Jack ate bugburger,slice of worm and the sheep eyes and he spat it out. Because I couldn’t believe that he would eat my eyes.
I am a bit woried that Jack mit have to walk the plank

NOW JACK’S A PRISONER!
I don’t think Jack likes the pirates food (cos it’s gross)
I think Jack is starving because he does not like the food.
I love part three
the 3rd part is really sick because the pirate’s food is discusting, disgracefull and very yacky. The poor jack not use to this awfull food vomitted. This is also the part where captain blackheart wanted a ranson form jack’s parent it started to be scarry.
I don’t think Jack is having fun being a real pirate.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
simply discusting food.
I wouldent dare go to Pirate school.

This story was a little scary but a little weird too. I liked it a little bit.
ok wat can i said is this story is only meant for primary 1
When is the last part coming? I can’t wait.
Ahoy there me hearties, Certainly there will be a part 4 of Jack and the Pirates, in a couple of weeks time. Jack was sick partly because the pirate food was so yucky, and partly because he was sea-sick.
will there be a part 4 ?.and why was he sick out of the pirate ship.thank you for a good story and sail safely.
Hi Lucas, you are right. Pirate food isn’t really very nice at all.
I think if i tried pirate’s food I would be sick to death. But I liked the story.
Hi Natasha,
Henry says “I like bugs” like what they ate in the story.
Eleanor says “we like your stories.”
Mamacate says thanks for the fun stories–we can’t wait for the next pirate story!
THANK YOU! Now I just have to be patient and wait for #4…
Hi Ella-Rose
“Ransom” is a demand for money when somebody is kidnapped. So Captain Blackheart is going to ask Jack’s dad to pay him money so that he can have Jack back. In other words he is ‘holding Jack from ransom’.
sorry! I meant ransom!
HI! I’d like to know what random means! I’m not so good when it comes to speaking pirate!
