Once upon a time there was a Giant. The Giant squeezed Jack and said, "Tell me a better storey or I'll grind your bones to make my bread. And when your storey is finished, I'll grind your bones to make my bread anyway! HO, Ho, Ho!" The Giant laughed an ugly laugh. Jack thought, 'He'll kill me if I do, he'll kill me if I dont. There's only one way to get out of this.' Jack cleared his throat, and then began his story.

The variation I heard of that one says Jim instead of first mate. I like knowing that Jim was a first mate. Jim's good at his job.

My Dad used to tell me this one. His version was a bit more dramatic. It was a dark and stormy night, the wind blew and blew. The waves crashed against the boat, the mast creaked, the candle flickered and the captain said “aye mate, tell me a story” and the mate began. It was a dark and stormy night….
