Blackbones Saves the
School
布莱克博恩拯救学校
Part 1
It was the first day
of term at Abbey Park School. Class 4 sat in the
neat rows.
They sat up straight. Nobody
talked or picked their nose. The Head, Miss Lupin,
had
told them to wait quietly for their
new teacher.
Suddenly the door flew
open. The new teacher strode in .He had a black
patch
over one eye and a sword at his
belt. His beard hung in thick dark curls.
‘
Ahoy, mates! The
name
’
s Blackbones , Captain
Blackbones!
’
he bellowed.
Blackbones sat down on top of his desk.
He kicked off his black boots, showing
a hole in one sock.
Class 4
gasped as he pulled out his
sword
—
and used it to sharpen
a pencil.
He pointed at Yasmin.
‘
You, matey, what lesson is
it?
’
‘
Please Captain,
geography.
’
Blackbones stroked his beard.
‘
Ge-og-ruffy. Never heard
of it. We
’
ll start with
Art.
’
Lessons
began.
They
painted
a
skull
and
crossbones
on
the
classroom
door.
With their rulers,
they practiced sword fighting.
Blackbones
winked.
‘
Now
you
looks
like
proper
pirates.
Let
’
s
sail
for
the
sea.
’
‘
The
sea
’
s miles
away,
’
said Adrian.

‘
And Miss Lupin
doesn
’
t let us go on
trips,
’
said Yasmin.
Tara had an idea.
‘
What about the school
swimming pool?
’
‘
Just
the job!
Set
sail
for
the
swimming
pool!
’
roared
Blackbones. He
was
enjoying himself.
T
eaching was far more fun than
he
’
d expected
Miss Lupin was in the swimming pool
with Class 3 when the door burst open.
‘
Captain Blackbones
…
!
’
she began.
But it was too late. Blackbones ordered
his pirates forward.
‘
Enemy
ahoy!
’
Miss Lupin
watched in horror as the pirates of Class 4
charged past her. They
didn
’
t
even
stop
to
change
into
their
swimsuits.
They
jumped
straight
into
the
pool
yelling,
‘
Yo ho
ho!
’
Class 3
threw rubber rings at the pirates. The pirates
threw back plastic floats.
Blackbones
was everywhere, waving his sword and shouting
orders. It was just like
the good old
days.
Part
2
All of a sudden Miss
lupin
’
s whistle split the
air. Most of Class 3 were up on the
diving board. The pirates were about to
make them walk the plank.
Blackbones
pointed to his class .Rattle me cutlass, Miss
lupin. Did I teach
‘
em
well or not?
’
Miss Lupin turned to him with a face as
black as thunder.
‘
Get
those
children
down
this
minute!
’
She
ordered.
‘
And
you,
Captain
,I
want to see you in my office right
away.
’

Blackbones spent all afternoon in Miss
Lupin
’
s office. When he came
back he
threw his hat on the floor.
‘
Barnacles!
’
< br> he muttered.
Tara and Yasmin had
waited behind to see
him.
“
What happened? What did
Miss Lupin say ?
”
they asked.
‘
I
’
ve
got to go
,shipmates,
’
said
Blackbones sadly .
‘
You mean
Miss Lupin has sacked you? After only one day
?
’
The girls
couldn
’
t believe it
Blackbones
sighed.
‘
I guess
I
’
m no use as a
teacher.
’
‘
You
’
re the best teacher
we
’
ve ever had
,
’
said Yasmin.
Blackbones put on his hat.
‘
Kind
of
you
to
say
so
,maties .
But
I
’
ve
got
to
go
by
the
end
of
the
week
,right after the school
fair.
’
Tara and
Yasmin walked away sadly .If only they
hadn
’
t fought Class 3 in the
swimming pool. Now Blackbones was going
.And they would never get a teacher
like him again.
As
they
passed
Miss
Lupin
’
s
office
they
heard
voices
inside.
‘
We
need
￡
10,000
—
and that
’
s
just to mend the roof!
’
sighed Miss Lupin .
‘
This
school
was
started
by
my
Great
Aunt
Amelia.
It
’
s
been
here
two
hundred years. Now
I
’
ll have to close it down
.
’
‘
Maybe the school fair will
go well this year ?
’
said
Miss Punter ,the games
teacher.
