A lot of people do. When a sailor told stories of their adventures, they liked to entertain and even scare their listeners. Each time a sailor retold a story about a giant squid, it most likely became exaggerated and more exciting. And when a sailor came home telling about an encounter with a giant, scary sea creature, it also made the sailor seem very brave. With a family member, write what you think each sailor’s story might be. Start the story with seeing a large octopus. The next sailor can exaggerate a frightening encounter with the Kraken.
Find the two identical scared sailors.
