Résumé
YES JACK PLANK started out to be a pirate His shipmates all liked him and their ship the Avarice was certainly very beautiful But after a while it was clear that he wasn t… much good at plundering He just didn t have the knack for it So what to do Jack did the only thing he could do--he went ashore to look for another line of work The town was called Salt-wash on the coast of the Caribbean Sea and he had a lot of helpful advice from the people in Mrs DelFresno s boardinghouse Somehow though each career he looked into seemed to have something wrong with it And every night at dinner in the boardinghouse he tried to explain why For who would want to work where there be a troll or the danger of getting a crab caught in your beard Or what about a music-loving crocodile There were other things too that ran against every suggestion and took the wind out of his sails At last Jack decided he wouldn t be good at anything onshore and would have to go back to sea pirate or not But sometimes as you probably know already things work out very nicely when you least expect it
