Capn Jordan Found His Gold

Cap’n Jordan was a scallywag from his nose to his toes. He was determined to follow the gold through rumors galore. Trusty companion tried to follow him, his name was Mose. But Cap’n Jordan came just as Cap’n shoved off the shore. For a decade or two Mose searched for his favorite pirate king. ‘He sang sea shanties in honor of him with an elegant ring. Cap’n Jordan had apparently finally found the coins he sought. His skeleton holding fast to the treasure chest, deteriorating a lot. Mose was horrified when he received the horrible news. He demanded the forensics which showed a couple of views. The skeleton was wearing a wicked smile, a pirate’s glee. At least he found treasure! Mose said. That’s better than me!

A most interesting story. Believe it or not, I could relate! You know, everyone is "better than me" when it comes to finding the gold!
