Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, there are
two prawns, one named Justin and the other named Christian.
The prawns are constantly being threatened by sharks.
One day Justin says to Christian, "I wish I was a shark,
then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten." A
mysterious cod then appears, and says, "Your wish is
granted."
Lo and behold, Justin turns into a shark. Horrified, Christian
immediately swims away, afraid of being eaten by his old friend.
In time, Justin the shark finds himself becoming bored and
lonely. All his old friends swim away whenever he comes close to
them, afraid of his menacing appearance.
One day, Justin sees the mysterious cod again and begs to be
changed back into a prawn. His wish is granted. Justin swims
back to his old friends and buys them all a cocktail. He
searches in vain for Christian, and is told that his old pal is
at home, distraught that his best friend has gone over to the
enemy and become a shark.
So Justin sets off for Christian's house. He opens the coral
gate and, banging on the door, calls, "It's me. It's
Justin, your old friend. Come out and see me again."
Christian replies, "No way, man. You'll eat me. You're a
shark, the enemy, and I'll not be tricked."
"Justin cries back, "No I'm not. That was the old me.
I've changed."
"I've found cod. I'm a prawn again, Christian.""
