Do you want to? Well I know two, not including their daughter Diana Rose Smith, who live in Cornwall. They have a house on land that is a boat and one in the water that is a boat house. Their boat was the biggest boat in the bay, it had a huge black base with a ten centimeters of gold lined around the edge. Her sails were blue and she had a flag with a grey cloud and two lightning bolts crossing over each other. It now looks ragged and covered in bird poo though.<br \/>\nDiana had a friend Mohham and his father was called Mark. He lived on a boat house called, &#8216;My Wife Sophie&#8217; because that had been his wife and he had made it for her before she died during childbirth. Mohham never saw his mother.<br \/>\nOne day Mohham and his father were sailing away from the island to buy some food. The boat floated away into the sun getting smaller and smaller and smaller. It ended up just being a pin prick in the distance.<br \/>\n\u201cAww I wish you\u2019d let me go out on my own, and follow alongside that boat.\u201d Complained Diana \u201cYou never let me out alone.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019re just paranoid!\u201d Jess (Her mum) replied. \u201cAnyway its already 9 \u2018o&#8217;clock, go to bed.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cFine, night mum, night dad.\u201d Diana said grumpily as she sulked upstairs and into bed.<br \/>\nFifteen minutes later she was still awake staring at the tall ships as they stood still mirroring into the water that they floated on. Then \u2018BRRRR! BRRRRRRR!\u2019. Her phone started to ring. She looked at the screen and it said \u2018Mohham Calling.\u2019<br \/>\n\u201cHey hey hey, enjoying your trip?\u201d She sat up.<br \/>\n\u201cNo, no the boats sinking quickly, get out here and help!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOh my God! Yes I\u2019m getting up. Where are you?\u201d She asked, panicking.<br \/>\n\u201cOh about c27, c28 maybe. Hurry we haven&#8217;t got much time!\u201d Diana ended the call and hurried out of the room down the stairs and out of the house. When she was out the cold winds blew against her face like it was hurrying her on. Diana climbed into their little boat and rowed.<br \/>\nRow, row, row, row. Her arms ached and her hands were numb but she carried on. When her satnav said that it was about c26 she slowed down so that she did not run into either of them. It seemed that there was nothing out there until,<br \/>\n\u201cHELP, HELP!\u201d she heard a cry, It sounded like the voice was hoarse like it had been shouting for too long.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m here don\u2019t worry. Just climb in.\u201d she replied trying to sound calm.She rode a little closer and she felt a hand come and pull up its body. It was like a zombie trying to get over but it wasn\u2019t it was Mohham. He was shivering and so Diana gave him an emergency blanket. She saw another hand and pulled up Mike giving him the same treatment.<br \/>\nThe group finally heard the sound of water lapping against the shore. It was like a dog that has seen a bone, and looking at its owner pleadingly licking its lips frantically. When they had got to Diana\u2019s house they sat on the floor beside the heaters.<br \/>\n\u201cW..w..w..ere a..r..re you..re par..ren..s?\u201d asked Mohham.<br \/>\n\u201cUpstairs in bed,\u201d whispered Diana \u201cdon\u2019t wake them though, I didn\u2019t tell them that I was coming.They don\u2019t know and probably wouldn\u2019t let me.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOh I understand\u201d Mark whispered back.<br \/>\nWhen they had all warmed up Diana asked<br \/>\n\u201cSo, what happened?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWell,\u201d started Mark, \u201cwe were sailing along, and I heard something splashing in the water so I looked over the edge of our boat thinking that I would see a dolphin or something. I didn\u2019t though I saw a face. Sophie\u2019s face. I reached out to touch it, having not seen my wife in such a long time, and the boat jerked like something was hitting it from beneath. This creature, or whatever it was, kept hitting the boat. Constantly until we saw water coming into the boat from a hole that this thing had made. Bits of our boat fell off everywhere, and Mohham called you leading us here.\u201d At the end Mike seemed exhausted so Diana brought them some of her fathers clothes, a couple of extra blankets and they slept on the sofa.<br \/>\nIn the morning Diana went downstairs to check on them, but when she got to the sofa she noticed that they weren&#8217;t there. She called and called but no-one replied. Eventually Jill came down and asked what on earth she was on about, so Diana told her the whole story, Including every last detail.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat are you on about? When was this then?\u201d Jill asked<br \/>\n\u201cWell,\u201d Diana tried to remember when the call was, \u201cAbout 9:15 I suppose\u201d she answered.<br \/>\n\u201cIt can\u2019t have been, I checked on you then, you were fast asleep. My phone even went off and you didn\u2019t stir. Oh no silly, it must have been a dream.\u201d<br \/>\nBut was it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever met a pirate?
