Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were
swimming round 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. 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. As he opened the coral gate the 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 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”
