finding cod

[Guest guest]

-----------------------------

 

 

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 frustrated at being a prawn; I wish I was a shark, and 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 and Justin found himself becoming bored and lonely as a

shark. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them.

 

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,

 

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 enemy

and 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. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me,

Justin, your old 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."

 

"I've found Cod. I'm a prawn again Christian!"
