A fishy tail

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 & threatened by the
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". 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. 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 magical fish could change him back into
a prawn. He approached the cod and begged to be changed back; 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, Justin 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 ...."

"My life was changed by Cod. I'm a Prawn again Christian".

 

Sorry but, Upon my sole, that was a fishy tale. I know there is a time and plaice for everyfin and I hope we will be herring more like that, I'm having a whale of a time. But is there a porpoise to all of this.

( sorry! couldn't resist.. I'll keep taking the tablets)

 

Wish I haddock said that ... so now I'll just skate away and give you a winkle as I go ...

(bad, I know!)

 

But I might come fishing for some tall tails and accidentally pinch you with my claws and, heaven forbid, might get the crabs .... :eek: :eek:

 

Cod I could never of thought of all those witty remarks Jazz :D :D

 

My slippery eel, you are doing swimmingly well!
