Once upon a time, in a land far far away, lived a group of prehistoric creatures. They lived together in peace and harmony, until one day an armada of privateers arrived on the island. The creatures were filled with apprehension as they had never seen anything like this before.

The leader of the privateers was a rough and tough mastodon, who was on a quest for the ultimate treasure. He had heard that the island was enchanted and that the treasure was hidden somewhere on it.

The creatures tried to warn the mastodon and the privateers about the dangers of the enchanted island, but they were not listened to. The privateers went ahead with their search for the treasure, but as they delved deeper into the island, strange things started happening. They started to feel apprehensive and perceived that they were being watched by unseen forces.

As the days went by, the privateers started to get more and more delirious, and they started to see things that were not really there. Eventually, they all lost their minds and ran away from the island, never to be seen again.

The prehistoric creatures were relieved that the privateers had left, and they went back to living in peace and harmony once again. They learned a valuable lesson about the dangers of being too greedy and not listening to the advice of others.

The end.
