Far away in the tropical waters of the Carribbean, two prawns swiming around in the sea, one called Justin and the other called Christian. Prawns were constantly being harried and threathened by sharks that patrolled the area.

Justin said to Christian, “I’m bored and frustrated being a prawn I wish I was a shark, I wouldnt have any worries about being eaten then”.

Later, in a tropical storm, a flash of lighting and at the moment his mind was on becoming a predator, Justin turns into a shark. Horrified Christian swims away afraid of being eaten.

Time went on and Justin finds he is getting lonely being a shark. All his old mates just swim away when he gets close, Justin hardly realising his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.

In the next year of tropical storms, he thinks that the same lightning force could change him back. Lightnening never strikes twice, except in stories like these. Thinking “I wish I was a prawn” a simultaneous flash of lighting strikes him and he turns back into a prawn.

With tears of joy in his little tiny eyes he swims to his old friends and buys them all a cocktail. Looking around the gathering on the reef he looks for his old pal. “Wheres Christian?”, he asks. They reply that he’s at home, distraught that his best friend had turned sides and become his enemy.

Eager to put things straight again and end the mutual pain and torture, he sets out to Christian’s house. As he opens the coral gate, the memories come flooding back. He bangs on the door and shouts; “Its me Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again”.

To which Christian replies; “No way man, you’ll eat me, you’re a shark, I will not be tricked”.

Justin cries back “no I’m not, that was the old me, I’ve changed…………..

I’m a prawn again Christian!!”
