One day, Ernest and Jack are playing on
the beach. They see a pirate ship coming

to the 'island. They run to the tree house.
'Dad! Pirates are coming!'

'Oh no!' soys Dad. Mum, Dad and Fritz
make a big hole in the sand. Ernest and
Jack look for coconuts and sticks.

The pirates jump off the ship and run
up the beach. The family is scared!
Some pirates fall into the big hole.

Mum and Dad wave the sticks and the
children throw the coconuts.

Suddenly, Mum says, 'Look! There's a
big ship!' The pirates look at the big ship.
Now they are scared! They run to their

ship. The Swiss Family Robinson laugh
and jump up and down.

The big ship comes to the beach. 'Hurrah!
Now we can go home.'

But the family is sad, too. 'Goodbye,
little elephant! Goodbye, little monkey!
Goodbye, island!'
