There once was a little girl with a big 

imagination named Emma. Emma’s favorite 

game in the world was pretending to be a great 

adventurer with her trusty sidekick, “Boomer”. 

Emma and Boomer had been on many 

adventures. They had visited with dinosaurs 

and even had tea with a queen!

Today Emma and Boomer were going to be pirates and 

find pirate treasure.

"Ahoy there Matey" snarled Emma in her best pirate 

voice.

"Aarrrg!" responded Boomer. "What be your orders 

Captain?"

"Today, we be in search of pirate treasure" said Emma.

Boomer had once told Emma tales of pirates that sailed 

the seas hiding and burying treasure on secret islands. 

Boomer said "The only way to find a treasure is with a 

pirate map."

"Where will we find a map?" Emma asked Boomer. "I 

found one in the attic" Boomer said. 

"We must becareful. The dreaded Tadpolians rule the 

island and no one is sure if they are friendly or not. We 

will dock, find the treasure and leave-Got it?" Boomer

asked.

Emma nodded her head yes, "Ay ay Captain!"

Reading the directions to Emma, Boomer said

"Once we land, first we pass island watch tower. 

We then take 10 paces right and go around skull rock. 

Next is the really tricky part. We must brave the marsh and 

take care not to wake the Tadpolians."

"Once we pass their watery marsh we have to tread very 

carefully. Many ships have not made it past the sand traps. 

Finally, 5 paces east and the treasure is ours!" 

Emma and Boomer landed on 

the island and set forth on

their way. Emma searched the 

area but didn't see the Tadpolians 

at the watchtower treehouse.

"It looks like the coast is 

clear" said Emma. 

Emma and Boomer made their way past the tree house 

island watchtower. They then turned right and counted 

off 10 steps.

Up through the trees, Emma could see the top of skull 

rock.

Boomer could feel Emma begin to tremble with fear. 

"Shiver me timbers" whispered Emma nervously. 

Boomer licked her arm to reassure her everything was 

going to be okay.

Emma tried hard to be brave but the scary stare of the 

skull shaped rock scared her. She stopped to really look 

at the rock and for a moment, she thought she saw 

something move in the eye of the skull.

Boomer mentioned they better hurry. The Tadpolians 

probably knew by now there were strangers on the 

island and would be looking for them. This made Emma 

feel very uneasy.

"I hope they don't find us" thought Emma worriedly.

"Gribbitt...Gribbitt! Yarg, thar be strangers on our 

island" shouted Captain Claw.

"Ye reckon they be after our treasure?" asked Mindy 

fixing her pink bow.

"Aye lass. We best do what we can to stop them. If we 

don't, they might find our hidden falls-the most 

legendary of pirate treasures" replied Captain Claw.  

Emma and Boomer were quietly walking 

through   the jungle, careful not to make a 

sound worried they might startle the 

Tadpolians.

All of a sudden, behind them they heard 

"SNAP".

"Did you hear something?" asked Emma, her 

voice quivering. 

"It was probably just a tree limb falling" 

Boomer answered.

He didn't want Emma to be scared. Protecting 

her was his job and he wanted her to be brave.
