Cheeky Stowaway

        Who’s coming? Crouched in the cold, dark locker, Perce hoped he hadn’t been discovered. He kept absolutely still as the footsteps got louder.

        Suddenly the door swung open. “Jig’s up,” the sailor said.  

        Perce Blackborow fell forward. After hiding in the cramped locker for days, he couldn’t stand. He was dragged to a chair.

        Captain Shackleton scowled. “Do you know that on these expeditions we often get very hungry, and if there is a stowaway available, he is the first to be eaten?”

        “They’d get a lot more meat off you, sir.”

        Shackleton grinned. “Introduce him to the cook first.”
