It was horrible. It was why the plague ravaged Northpass. The reason birds migrate away. Ma told him to wash his feet, Rody didn't think his Ma told him that. He giggled as Rody took of the shoe. Rody was fighting an emotional battle. Should I touch them, or work at my Ma's laundry? It was a tough question for him, after seeing those. Rody closed his eyes, but you can't close your nose. His feet where the reason whales don't have noses. But this was his only chance to be a real sailor. He finally gave into his wants, not his common sense. He touched the feet. It was like touching a hairy, slimy worm. The High Chief was laughing very hard. If the High Chief looked at his feet he would've given Rody the job right then and there. Saving Rody from continuing. But he didn't. Rody's fingers scraped the bottom, dirt ,bugs and plants coming off by the millions. The High Chief continued to be oblivious the stress he was placing on Rody. After an infinite amount of pain, and time he finished the first foot.
"Boy you didn't get in between me toes!" Rody gave a grave nod , and looked at was in between the toes. They where infinite crevices, filled with green and sweat. Rody out his finger in it, and regretted it. It was like touching algae. After finishing it, Rody expected kindness. Instead the High Captain sat back, relaxed and said get on with the second, I cut it.
It wasn't a cut. It was a volcano of puss. He took it off to reveal it. He nearly vomited. He thought there was nothing more vile and smelly as his first foot. He was wrong. It seemed like he was a dictator. The High Captain thought that this was morally wrong, but it just felt sooooooo good to have a clean foot. This was the reason he agreed to be High Captain.
Rody was still wondering where to start. Getting the worst thing out of the way, or starting slow. He just turned his head and went in. At the end of the torture, everyone was happy, except for Rody.
"Fine go to me ship, and hand the captain this letter." The High captain said. Rody ran out, appreciating everything not slimy, green, or smelly with new eyes.
