Suddenly, Tank had an idea. She could turn the wagon into a pirate ship!

Tank passed Haggis a telescope.

Don’t be bored—climb aboard! We can be pirates!

Come on, landlubber!Sail the sea with me!

See? Sea!

There’s treasure out there—I know it!

Let’s sail in search of untold riches!

I see a sea of weeds.

We can’t sail without sails.

No, thank you.

What sea?

Tank spotted a sign.

So? All we need is a little imagination.

And some tape!

Look—a sail sale! We can sail today!

Those aren’t sails. Those are curtains.

Besides, they’re ripped, and we don’t know

how to sew.
