2 prawns

    Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were
    swimming around in the sea, one called Justin, 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 and 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, 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 real punchline does not
    involve prawn cocktails, 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,
    Justin set off to Christian's abode. As he opened the coral gates
    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 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."
