    My Dad grew up on a tiny island in the South China Sea. He was mistakenly kidnapped by pirates who thought he was the son of a rich family (my Dad’s family was actually quite poor). He said the pirates treated him nice and gave him toys. They let him go home when they discovered they got the wrong kid. But I don’t think most pirates are nice.
