(music plays)

The TVOKids logo appears on a white flag next to a pirate symbol that sits on an open book. The name of the show reads "Bookaneers."

In animation, Skaggs, Fibber and the Captain sing on the pirate ship.

They song says WE STOLE A TREASURE
FAIR AND SQUARE
AND DIDN'T MEAN TO GLOAT
BUT SOME OTHER PIRATES
WANT TO TAKE IT
OUR CAPTAIN TOLD US,
HIDE THE TREASURE
TAKE IT FAR FROM VIEW
AND I'LL SEND ALONG
A WRITTEN NOTE
TO TELL YOU
WHAT TO DO

As the other pirates attack the pirate ship, Skaggs and Fibber take the treasure down to the hold and wait there for instructions.

[shouting-shuffling]

The animation ends.


(music plays)
[voices from above]

In real life, Skaggs says SOUNDS LIKE
THERE'LL BE A LOT
OF FISH
FOOD TODAY.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
GO AND HELP.

Fibber says THE CAPTAIN TOLD US TO
GUARD THE TREASURE
AND WAIT FOR
THE NOTE.

Skaggs says BUT WHAT IF
THE CAPTAIN -?

A pirate climbs down the stairs and says WHOOO!
IT'S NOT LOOKING
GOODS, LADS!
BUT THE CAPTAIN
WANTS ME
TO GIVE YOU
THIS NOTE.
OH, MAN.
[shouts from above]

He climbs back up.

The note reads "Make sure the treasure chest is unharmed."

Fibber says OH, AHEM.
MAKE SURE IT'S
UNHARMED?
WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN?

Skaggs says WELL, HARMED MEANS
TO HURT OR DAMAGE.
BUT WHY DOES
HE WANT US
TO DAMAGE THE
TREASURE CHEST?

Fibber says WELL, MAYBE IF
THE CHEST LOOKS
OLD AND BATTERED...
NO ONE WILL THINK THERE'S
ANY TREASURE IN IT.

Skaggs says OHH, AND YOU'D
BE RIGHT.
YOU'D BE RIGHT!
[laughing]
[raucous voices]

On the deck, the captain and the other pirate fight against the thieves.

The Captain says SOUNDS LIKE THEY'VE
BREACHED BELOW DECK.
YOU'D BETTER CHECK
ON THE LADS.
[thumping sounds]

The pirate goes back down to the hold.

Skaggs and Fibber are kicking and hitting the chest.

The pirate says WHAT IN ALL
THE OCEANS
ARE YOU TWO
DOING DOWN HERE?!

Fibber says WE'RE MAKING SURE
THE TREASURE CHEST
IS UNHARMED,
JUST LIKE
THE NOTE SAYS.
LOOKS ALL BLUDGEONED
NOW, RIGHT.

The pirate says UNHARMED, THE NOTE
SAYS UNHARMED.

Skaggs says AYE, AND TO
HARM IT,
WE HAVE TO WRECK
IT UP, HA HA HA.

The pirate says WAIT, WHEN A PREFIX "UN."
IS IN FRONT OF A WORD,
IT MAKES THE WORD
MEAN THE OPPOSITE.
SO, TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE TREASURE CHEST
IS UNHARMED, YOU
MUST MAKE SURE
THAT NO HARM
COMES TO IT.

Skaggs says OHH, HA HA.
THAT'S GOOD
TO KNOW.

Fibber says YOU'LL HAVE TO
EXCUSE HIM!
IT'S HARD TO STOP A
MOTIVATED PIRATE.

The pirate goes back on the deck.

The captain says EVERYTHING BELOW
DECK UNHARMED?

The pirate says WITH THOSE TWO
IN CHARGE,
IT'D BE HIGHLY
UNLIKELY.
[chuckles]

The announcer says AND SO, THE BOOKANEERS'
GREAT READING
SAVED THE DAY,
ALLOWING THEM
TO KEEP
THEIR TREASURE...
THIS TIME.
