A tale of two prawns.
Far away in tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around 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 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 becoming a predator firmly on his mind, a flash of lightning hit the water and, low and behold, Justin was turned into a shark. Shocked and 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 just didn't realise that his
new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.
During the next tropical storm, Justin figured that the same lighting 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, a flash of lightning struck the water next to Justin and behold, he turned back into a prawn.
With tears of Joy in his little eyes, Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail. (The punchline does not involve a prawn cocktail.........It is much worse than that).
Looking around the gathering at the reef bar, 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, you are a shark and you'll eat me. I won't be tricked"
Justin cried back "No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed........."
(Ready........)
(Wait for it.....)
(It is bad.....)
"I'm a Prawn again Christian..."
