A young pirate lived alone in a small house by the sea with only a small sailboat. He wanted to see bigger ships but was afraid to sail alone. One night, he saw a monkey in a palm tree, a seagull on his roof, and a seal on a rock who all offered to sail with him. Though they encountered a mermaid and a storm that sank their boat, they survived and washed ashore on an island inhabited by a dragon. The dragon agreed to let them stay after they offered him bananas, fish, and an orange, and they all lived happily on the island together.
