       Two pirates were reunited {after many years} {of 

terrorizing} the high seas. The one pirate looked to be {in pretty

bad shape}: he had a wooden leg, a hook {on his right hand}

and a patch {on his left eye}.

     "You look like you've been having a rough time. What 

happened?" asked the first pirate.

     "Well," the pirate answered, "my leg got crushed when a

load {of cargo} shifted, and I had to get a wooden leg. My

hand got caught {in the chain}  as the anchor was being 

dropped, and the day after I got my hook, a fly landed {on my

nose}."
