One afternoon last September, Pete was playing with our “Story Cubes” by himself in the living room floor. This is the final part of the story.

The Adventure of Pirates, Part Four
by Pete

Welcome to the new adventures of Pirates and Pete! Still looking for the key to unlock the gears of the door and escape the apple!

And [the turtle and the sad alien] followed the footprints of the alien, and they stopped at a clock and they saw the alien in it so they had to go inside the clock! (This is an extremely long story.) And then he met an arrow that showed him the way to the door. The alien had to go this way, but they had to go this way. And then they met a little fish guy that said, “Go right here, please.”

Then apparently they said, “Alien! Come back out of there!”

And then he said, “I’m the one who set up that temple, and I’m the one who used the magic wand for putting the apple in the gears of the key lock!”

And then a hand came out. It was the guard’s hand! And he said, “That is his home.” So he was the guard of his home, for whenever people wanted to see him.

“Go back to the pyramid,” said the alien. “We’re having a party for aliens.”

And then one of them fell asleep. And then a lamb that was upside-down usually put people in a different land, so he put them in the lock of the intergalactic alliance! And then there came thunder coming down from the sky. And then when he said something weird, the keyhole opened and he rushed back to the pyramid and began looking for the princess. Was she in the water fountain? No! Was she at the top of the castle? Was she in her room reading a book, or inside the book? And then he found her on the skyscraper of the tower!

I don’t understand anything anymore! Am I in my room reading a book, or am I inside the book? In conclusion: Pete has a weird and wild imagination.
