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
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 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 realise 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. (The punch line does not involve a
prawn cocktail - it's much worse). 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".
