“Show up
on board. Your time has run out”, declared a stern voice.
“Pirates,
this is the last warning. Show up. This is Capt. Whodunit from coast guard ship
Virat”
“You can’t
hide for long. Surrender and save your lives”
“What’s
the guarantee of that, Captain? Black Pearl had never succumbed to empty
threats. Don’t dare board our ship. Come closer at your own peril and get
doomed. That’s my promise. Promise of the genuine pirate”, snide the scornful voice
Splashing
of water guns followed. The screams and shouts of “Ahoy” from both the ends
filled the air. And an ugly fight erupted.
“What’s
happening in here? You two naughty munchkins! Enough of wasting the water and fighting.
Do you want to spend the entire summer in this bath tub with your toy ships?”,
Said Mom, rushing into the bathroom.
“Aye, Aye”
came the chorus reply from Vidhi and Nidhi, the twins!
