Read the text and answer the question.
Long ago, a boy named Johnny lived on a ship that
sailed the seas. His father was the captain. Johnny
continually begged his father to let him keep watch.
“Life on the sea is dangerous,” his father said. “Only
the most responsible sailors can keep watch for sudden
storms or fearsome pirates.” One night after much
complaining and begging, the captain allowed Johnny
to keep watch. Johnny expected the work to be
exciting, but time crept more slowly than a slug. So
Johnny decided to have some fun. “Pirates! Pirates!”
Johnny yelled out. Sailors scrambled on deck, only to
see Johnny laughing. “Just kidding!” he said as his
eyes filled with tears of laughter. The captain was
furious. “Pirates are no joke,” he scolded. He made
Johnny promise to behave, but Johnny did not listen.
Once again, when everyone was asleep, he sounded the
alarm. Sleepy sailors hurried to their posts, ready for
action. And again, Johnny laughed at the fun of
tricking them. The third time Johnny was on watch, he
yawned and stretched, scanning the horizon. To his
shock, he saw a pirate ship in the distance. “P-
ppirates!” he stammered. “Pirates!” The sailors merely
rolled over in their hammocks. They were sure Johnny
was lying again. As the pirate ship edged closer,
Johnny’s heart beat quickly with fear. He realized this
was not a joke.
