Once upon a time, there was a brave pirate named Captain Scurvy who lived in a small village near the sea. He had a catamaran that was not streamlined but he was very accustomed to it. One day, while he was sailing on his ship, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful caravel with a tall mast and a culture unlike any he had ever seen before.

Captain Scurvy was determined to learn more about this exotic culture, so he set sail for the caravel. But when he finally reached the ship, he discovered that it was inhabited by a group of mischievous monkeys! The monkeys stole his ship and left him stranded on the caravel.

Determined to get his ship back, Captain Scurvy challenged the monkey leader to a race around the world. The winner would receive the catamaran and the loser would be forced to walk the plank.

The race was intense and filled with twists and turns, but in the end, Captain Scurvy emerged victorious. He was finally able to sail his catamaran back home and share stories of his adventures with the villagers. From that day on, he never forgot the importance of being streamlined and always remained accustomed to life on the sea.
