Two
pirates were
reunited {after many years} {of
terrorizing} the
high seas. The one pirate
looked to be[Note
#1]
{in pretty bad shape}: he
had a wooden
leg (DO), a
hook (DO)
{on his right hand}, and
a patch
(DO) {on his left eye}.
"You
look[CNE]
like you've been
having a rough time
(DO). What
happened?" asked[CNE]
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
(DO).
My hand
got caught {in
the chain} as the
anchor was
being
dropped, and the
day after I got
my hook
(DO), a fly
landed {on
my nose}."
