This was way back when I was a wee nipper, roaming the seven seas, looking for loot, grog and girls of course!
We heard that there was a great big treasure buried on a deserted island. We sailed off to look for it, when we reached the island we saw a big treasure chest, filled with loot!
but the captain said "no, we must press on, there is biggure booty inside" so we went on for days, and in the end we never found any treasure. we turned round and marched back to shore, but when we got there, alas the treasure from earlier had been washed out to sea, and we left empty handed.
there is a moral to this story
