"The chain! The chain! Grab the chain you fool!" yelled the old hobo from his sleep by the dock.
The man had once been a renowned sailor, able to navigate the seas blindfolded. Now he could barely see three feet in front of his face.
"Mommy, why is that man yelling about a chain?" said a little boy as he and his mom walked by.
"I don't know dear, but don't stare" his mom replied.
Suddenly the old man leaped from the bench and approached the boy eagerly. "You want to know about the chain do ya? We'll ol' Skippee''ll teach you about the chain, you just come with me, and we'll go sailing on marvelous adventures, learning about the chain the whole time!"
The boy begged his mother, and after some deliberation, she figured there was no changing his mind, so the boy joined ol' Skippee on the finest ship in the marina, the Rusty Bucket, and they sailed off on an adventure.
