Captain Saltbeard was a rare pirate-statue made from paint and precious ceramics. But Saltbeard had something extra special not found in other precious ceramic pirate statues...HE WAS A ROOSTER PIRATE.
Captain Saltgbeard lived at 109 Berry-Bridge Road, in a house which was all made of roof. Whoa! Like a big triangle! One of those houses! And he loved living in it.
Of an evening, Saltbeard liked the smell of Lavender and Pine that meandered through the kitchen window from the mountains, from the garden.
Of a morning, he enjoyed the look of The Frypp Family's sourdough browning under the grill, the pitcher of juice propped on the neatly-dressed kitchen table, the steam from little Felix and Gaby's hot chocolates when the weather was particularly crisp.
And, oh!, Captain Saltbeard loved the feel of the sun on his face when it travelled past the side window at ten past three every afternoon, drenching him in gold and calm for a good seven minutes or more.
The only thing Captain Saltbeard didn't like about living with The Frypp Family at 109 Berry-Bridge Road was the day that Stan, their foster kid, put Saltbeard on the floor, hit him with a frying pan and used the broken pieces to make hundreds of little cuts up the length of his pale, pale arm.
The end.
