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

inhabited the area. Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm fed up with

being a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn't have any worries about

being eaten."



A large mysterious cod appeared and said, "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 passed (as it invariably does) and Justin found life as a shark

boring and lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to

them. Justin didn't realise that his new menacing appearance was the cause of

his sad plight.



While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again and he

thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn.



He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and behold, he

found himself 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 realised he couldn't see

his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked. "He's at home, still 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 abode. As he opened the coral gate memories came flooding back.

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 now a shark, the enemy,

and I'll not be tricked into being your dinner. " 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".
