Far away in the tropical waters
of the Caribbean, two prawns were
swimming around in the sea -
one called Justin and the other called
Christian.
The prawns were constantly
being harassed and threatened by sharks
that patrolled the area. Finally
one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm
bored and frustrated at being
a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I
wouldn't have any worries
about being eaten..."
As Justin had his mind firmly
on becoming a predator, a mysterious
cod appears and says, "Your wish
is granted", and lo and behold, Justin
turned into a shark.
Horrified, Christian immediately swam away,
afraid of being eaten by his old
mate.
Time went on (as it invariably
does...) and Justin found himself
becoming bored and lonely as a
shark. All his old mates simply swam
away whenever he came close to
them. Justin didn't realize that his new
menacing appearance was the
cause of his sad plight. While out
swimming alone one day he sees the
mysterious cod again and can't believe his
luck. Justin figured that the fish
could change him back into a prawn. He
begs the cod to change him back so,
lo and behold, he is turned back into
a prawn. With tears of joy in
his tiny little eyes, Justin swam back
to his friends and bought them
all a cocktail. The punch line does not
involve a prawn cocktail - it's much worse).
Looking around the gathering
at the reef,he searched for his old pal.
"Where's Christian?" he asked.
He's at home, distraught that
his best friend changed sides to the
enemyand became a shark", came the
reply.
Eager to put things right
again and end the mutual pain and
torture, he set off to Christian's house.
As he opened the coral gate the
memories came flooding back. He banged
on the door and shouted, "It's
me, Justin, your friend, come out and see
me again."
"Christian replied "No way
man, you'll eat me. You're a shark, the
enemy and I'll not be tricked."
Justin cried back "No, I'm
not. That was the old me. I've
changed."...(wait for it).
