|        Two
pirates were reunited {after many
years} {of 
 terrorizing} the high seas. The one pirate looked to be {in pretty bad shape}: he had a wooden leg, a hook {on his right hand}, and a patch {on his left eye}. "You look like you've been having a rough time. What happened?" asked the first pirate. "Well," the pirate answered, "my leg got crushed when a load {of cargo} shifted, and I had to get a wooden leg. My hand got caught {in the chain} as the anchor was being dropped, and the day after I got my hook, a fly landed {on my nose}."
