                       “Don’t worry!”  Liana reassured him. “We scared the pirates away easily before.
                   We can do the same again.”

                       Last time, the pirates had killed monkeys and chopped down dozens of trees

                   before the parrots frightened them away.
                       But he had a feeling the pirates weren’t scared any more. Or why else would they

                   be heading straight for Parrot Island?
