Prawns............

Far away in the tropical waters of the Carribbean, two prawns were
swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and the other called
Christian.

Prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that
patrolled the area. Finally one day during a tropical storm, 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 flash of
lightning hits the water and lo and behold, Justin turns into a shark.

Horrified, Christian immediately swims 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 hardly realising that his
new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.  During the
next tropical storm, Justin figures that the same lightning force could
change him back
into a prawn. Lightning never strikes twice except in stories like
these,
but while he was thinking of being a prawn again, a flash of lightening
strikes the water next to Justin and lo and behold, he turns back into a
prawn.

With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes, Justin swims back to his
friends and buys them all a cocktail. Looking around the  gathering
at the reef, he looks 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, Justin sets off to Christian's house. As he opens the coral
gate,
the memories come flooding back. He bangs on the door and shouts  "It's
me. 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.  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!!!"
