-I love pirates. -I love potatoes.
-Wow, this book has everything. -Mm-hmm.
"Once upon a time there was a pirate captain named
Captain Penny."
-Nothing like a tall hat to say, "I'm the pirate in ch-arrge!"
-Gotcha. -Mm-hmm.
"Captain Penny and her crew
were searching for the ruby red tater treasure.
Yes. Captain Penny discovered
that the ruby red tater treasure was buried under an X."
-[ Gasps ] X marks the spot!
X always marks the spot in a good treasure story.

her shovel and she dug until she found --"

-"Captain Penny and her pirate crew
then feasted on the most scrumptious ruby red potato stew
in the whole wide world."

some ruby red potato stew right now.
