"Hello, Cranky," said Kevin when he arrived. "I´m here to lend a helping hook. What do you want me to do?"
"I don´t need any help," Cranky replied.
"But surely there´s something I can do?" Kevin asked.
"Stay out of my way!" said Cranky. "I don´t need any help thank you very much."
Kevin moved to a quiet corner of the Docks and waited to be called.
"Don´t fret, matey. He´s Cranky by name and cranky by nature, " Salty said kindly. "You´ll get used to him."
