Hey guys it’s been a busy time here for me and I haven’t had time to write. But I had this little article and I just couldn’t resist posting.
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 patrolled the area.
Finally one day 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 his mind firmly on becoming a predator, a mysterious cod appears and says, “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 went on 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 didn’t realize that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.
While out swimming alone one day he sees the mysterious cod again and can’t believe his luck. Justin figured that the fish could change him back into a prawn. He begs the cod to change him back, so lo and behold, he is 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.
Looking around the gathering at the reef, 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 the 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 man, you’ll eat me. You’re a shark, the enemy and I’ll not be tricked.”
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.”
OK I’m sorry it was pretty bad, but I felt like I haven’t talked to you for so long.

No ending to the story? :{
But it’s true that sometimes we complain and wish to be a different person/to be like another person. It’s time to be grateful for what we are and give praise to God :D

I guess there is a moral in that story! Be grateful for who you are! A little corny but a good share!

It’s a good read. I pity Justin because he wasn’t contented of what he was. He desired power, but then that same power drove away his best pal. I guess some of us experienced that too. We changed ourselves into someone powerful or desirable without realizing that it’s not only ourselves we are losing but also all our dear friends.
