Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. Here are chapters 28, 29, and 30 of Treasure Island. Poor Jim Hawkins climbed over the stockade only to find himself in the middle of the pirates’ den! The pirates weren’t very happy to see Jim, and what with one thing and another, most of the men were ready to do away with him. But Long John Silver came to the rescue and had an interesting proposal for him: if Long John would save Jim’s life now, Jim would do what he could to keep the pirate captain from hanging. And what about the treasure? Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.
