Poor Cleite the pirate has been captured by the horrible pirate Féasóg Fhionn, and forced to scrub the decks. But Cleite makes a new friend, Crúca Beag. The pair of them escape to a little island. The only other person on the island is Péarla, the princess of the cannibals....
Cleite, of course, is a good pirate. He lives with all his family on the pirate ship, An Bolg Lán. When he isn't working on the ship, he spends the day searching for treasure, or playing with his friends, Crúca Beag and Péarla.
Cleite's father and mother are always fighting. His friend, Crúca Beag, advises Cleite to go in search of a treasure on the Island of the Seven Heads. 'If you find treasure,' he says, 'your parents are sure to organize a big party. Your mother will play the harp and your father will play the trumpet, and after that they'll go dancing on deck. They'll be friends again then.' 'Do you think so?' asks Cleite.

'Níotú saw something that put the game out of his mind. A young racoon was lying under the tree, almost hidden by the leaves. The animal raised its head. He had a black and whitre face, almost like a mask. He let out a squeel.' The little red Indian decided to take care of the racoon and to keep him as a pet, but it was soon clear that there would be problems!
Níotú ran and jumped up on Pítsí’s back, and caught hold of his mane. The poney threw Níotú on his belly on the ground. ‘Ha! Ha! said Pacó. ‘It’s not easy to fly without wings!’
It’s time Níotú had his own horse, but it’s a lot more difficult to catch a wild horse and to train him than Níotú thinks!
Níotú is a Red Indian. He lives with his mother and father in a teepee. Around them live the Little Teepee Red Indian tribe. Every day along with his friends, Fataí and Navó, Níotú goes to play in the forest, learning about animals and about nature.
