Sometimes, You Just Gotta Make A Net

He was curious about the ball of spikes. It seemed to be alive, but he wasn't about to try and touch it without knowing what it was. "Maybe we should drop that one back in the water, that is unless we can figure out what it is and use it for somethin'!" Those spines looked like they hurt, but for now, he'd shake it off the net and let it fall to the side so he could poke it with a stick or something later. It seemed they had pulled out more than they bargained for to his delight, and that even included a starfish! Much like his brother though, he was disappointed that neither of them had seen if the starfish had swam or not, but he also didn't want to throw it back. "Nu uh! Let's keep it and use it to decorate! It's not every day we catch one, but now we know how!" He grinned.

They had quite the haul now, and now all they had to do was prep them somehow so they could use them. "Dad said his sister used to dry herbs in the sun and he would make um...jerky? By drying it out, too. I dunno about the crabs, but we can eat 'em and use the shells for something. And the starfish we can dry in the sun, huh? It'd look pretty cool if we strung it up on something..." He eyed what they had caught and an idea popped into his head. "what if we used that piece of seagrass? Or even the net itself to hang up for decoration and attach these things to them after they dry? Even that spiky ball thing once we figure out how to grab it without getting poked! I can help ya make another net later. We are pirates after all! We gotta show off our prized catches!"
