Hi, everybody!

You know, everybody loves ballet. It's a beautiful form of dancing.

Oh, I'm beginning to wonder just who this second ballerina is.

Who do you think it is?

Are you saying that the second ballerina is Captain Feathersword?

Hmm. Well, let's have a look at the ballerinas and compare them.

The first ballerina has a beautiful tiara on her head. The second ballerina has a pirate hat on HIS head.

Hmm. I think you're right. Let's have another look.

The first ballerina is wearing a beautiful blue tutu. And the second ballerina has a beautiful BLACK tutu with a pirate shirt and vest.

You could be right. Let's look once more.

The first ballerina has wonderful ballet slippers tied up with ribbon. The second ballerina has pirate boots tied up with ribbon.

You're right, everybody! I think it is Captain Feathersword!

You're Captain Feathersword.

"Oh no I'm not!"

Oh yes you are.

"Oh no I'm not!"

Oh yes you are.

"Oh no I'm not!"

Oh yes you are.

"Oh no I'm not!"

Oh yes you are.

"Oh no I'm not!"

Come on. We see the differences. You look so much like a pirate.

"Oh, yes, it's me, me hearties! Well done! Oh, I just love this wonderful ballet!" said the captain.
