"Peggy the Pint Sized Pirate" is a little tale of a young girl who wants to be a pirate, but she's too little, and none of the pirate captains will choose her to be one of their shipmates.

When she is rejected, she starts thinking about what she can do to overcome her tiny size. What does she have that the other pirate wannabes might not have?

Sad and dejected, Peggy is about to give up on her dream. Then an opportunity comes her way.

Peggy learns that all the pirates have been captured by an angry sea monster.

Only a small handful escaped, including this mate who tells Peggy what has happened.

 

This ship captain, left, also escaped.  When Peggy comes up with a plan, she tells the captain what she is going to do.

The captain though, is so frightened by the plan, she makes Peggy captain of her ship and runs away.

 

In the next scene, Peggy sets out on her mission.

She hopes to solicit a little help from a shipmate, but it doesn't work.
