TWO
PRAWNS
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, and then I wouldn't have any worries about being
eaten.'
A large mysterious cod appeared and said, 'Your wish is granted'
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 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 realize 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 realized 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 & 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.'.........
