(music plays)

The TVOKids logo appears on a white flag next to a pirate symbol that sits on an open book. The name of the show reads "Bookaneers."

In animation, Skaggs, Fibber and the Captain sing on the pirate ship.

They song says WE STOLE A TREASURE
FAIR AND SQUARE
AND DIDN'T MEAN TO GLOAT
BUT SOME OTHER PIRATES
WANT TO TAKE IT
OUR CAPTAIN TOLD US,
HIDE THE TREASURE
TAKE IT FAR FROM VIEW
AND I'LL SEND ALONG
A WRITTEN NOTE
TO TELL YOU
WHAT TO DO

As the other pirates attack the pirate ship, Skaggs and Fibber take the treasure down to the hold and wait there for instructions.

[shouting-shuffling]

The animation ends.

[clanging]

In real life, Skaggs says SHIVER ME TIMBERS!
THERE BE A LOT OF
CLANGING STILL ON DECK.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
GO AND HELP.

Fibber says ARRR!
DO YOU HAVE BARNACLES
ON YOUR RUDDER?
THE CAPTAIN TOLD US
TO GUARD THE TREASURE
AND WAIT FOR THE NOTE.

Skaggs says BUT WHAT IF
THE CAPTAIN IS –

The door opens and a pirate comes down with a note.

He says THE CAPTAIN'S TIED
TO THE MISSING MAST.
BUT HE TOLD ME TO
GIVE THEE THIS NOTE.
CLANG, CLANG,
CLANG, CLANG.

The note reads "Hide the treasure behind the wall."

Skaggs says HIDE THE TREASURE
BEHIND THE WHALE.

Fibber says BEHIND THE WHALE?

Tied up to the mast, the captain mumbles
WALL!
THE WALL!

Skaggs says BUT WHALES ARE
IN THE OCEAN.

Fibber says WELL... THEY WOULDN'T
FIND IT DOWN THERE.
THAT WOULD BE A
GOOD PLACE TO HIDE IT,
I RECKON.

Skaggs says WHEN YOU BE RIGHT,
YOU BE RIGHT.
HUH, HUH, HUH.

The pirate goes back in the hold. He sees Skaggs and Fibber throw the chest in the water.

The pirate says AHH!
[splash]
WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?!

Fibber says WE'RE JUST BURYING
THE TREASURE CHEST
BEHIND THE WHALE,
JUST LIKE THE NOTE SAYS.
PRETTY CLEVER REALLY.

The pirate says LET ME SEE THAT.
OH, IT DOESN'T SAY
WHALE... IT SAYS WALL.
HIDE THE TREASURE
BEHIND THE WALL.
YOU SEE, WHEN AN
'A' IS FOLLOWED BY
TWO CONSONANTS IT
MAKES A SHORT SOUND.
SO THE 'A' IS
PRONOUNCED 'AW.'
WALL.
AND IN WHALE THE
'A' IS FOLLOWED
BY A CONSONANT
THEN A VOWEL.
SO YOU WOULD MAKE A
LONG SOUND LIKE 'AAA'
WHALE.

Skaggs says OH, THAT MAKES
MORE SENSE.

The Captain mumbles THE WALL!

The thief takes his muzzle off and says WHAT'S THAT
YOU SAY?

The Captain says YOU'LL NEVER GET YOUR
HANDS ON
MY
TREASURE.
MY MEN ARE THE
SMARTEST ON THE SEAS.

Meanwhile, Fibber and the pirate hold Skaggs by the leg so he can get the chest.

Skaggs says DON'T LET ME FALL!

Fibber says DO YOU SEE IT?

Skaggs says I DON'T WANT TO...

The announcer says AND SO THE BOOKANEERS'
GREAT READING SAVED THE DAY
ALLOWING THEM TO KEEP
THEIR TREASURE...
WELL, ER... MAYBE
NOT THIS TIME.

The TVOKids logo appears.
