Pirate Pete and the Toast Trick

One day, Freddy the Fish was swimming under Pirate Pete's boat when he suddenly got pulled up from the water in a fishing net. It turns out Pirate Pete was in the mood for fish sticks, so he got himself a net and tried his hand at fishing.
When he pulled up his net, he found Freddy the Fish in it.
"Alright! I'm having fish sticks tonight!" he said.
"Hey! How'd I get in this net?" asked Freddy the Fish.
"You swam in my net. DUH! Now you're going to be fish sticks." Pirate Pete replied.
"Tell you what, if you let me go, I'll give you three pieces of toast"
Not being one to turn down crispy, brown toast, Pirate Pete quickly accepted the offer. However,Pirate Pete neglected to realize that there is no bread or electric appliances with which to toast the bread in the ocean. He had been tricked.
"Argh, me hearty! I've been hornswaggled! Curse ye Freddy the Fish!"
And so Pirate Pete lived the rest of his life a hungry, lonely scalliwag.
THE END
