Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were
swimming around in the sea. One prawn was called Justin and the other,
Christian. The prawns were constantly being 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 & 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 & lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close
to them.
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 & 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!"
