Once upon a time there was a group of pirates who sailed the seas to find new islands and trade with the indigenous peoples. They speculated about finding a bountiful archipelago filled with riches, but little did they know that the island was plagued by a scurvy outbreak. The pirates needed to use their ingenuity to find a cure for the disease.
One day, they stumbled upon a buoyant fruit that looked like a lemon. They squeezed it and drank the juice, and to their surprise, the scurvy disappeared! The pirates were overjoyed, and they named the fruit “Buoy-Lemon”.
They took the Buoy-Lemon back to their ship and started trading it with all the other islands they visited. The commerce of the Buoy-Lemon became so successful that the pirates became the richest in all the seas.
From then on, the pirates never had to worry about scurvy again and they lived happily ever after with their bountiful wealth. The End.
