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.\"
