There were two prawns named Sebastian and Christian, living in the ocean. They found it a hard life, living as prawns. Many of the oceans other creatures would happily make a quick meal of them given half a chance, so they always had to be on guard. They had to live underneath a rock where they could stay safely hidden and sneak out at night to look for food.
One night, while Sebastian and Christian were foraging around looking for something to eat, Sebastian suddenly said “You know, I’m really tired of living like this! Living under a rock, sneaking around in the dark, always afraid of being eaten.”
“But what can you do about it?” said Christian. “we’re just prawns after all.”
“I know,” said Sebastian “But I wish I was bigger and stronger, in fact I wish I was a shark. Yeah that’s it, a big shark! Not afraid of anything, being the hunter instead of the hunted! Oh, how I wish I was a shark!”
Suddenly there was a flash of light. “What was that?” they both asked in unison. Christian turned to look at Sebastian and screamed. “Sebastian! My God, you’ve turned into a shark!”
And he had, through some miracle or magic, Sebastian’s wish had come true. He swam around a bit “Wow!” he said. “I can move so fast!” He snapped his jaws together “Hey, I’ve got such big sharp teeth! I’m going to go and get some food! This is great!” he said and started having a feeding frenzy, snapping and grabbing at everything in sight. “Hey look Christian, I can eat anything I want! Ha ha!”
Christian watched his old friend with growing fear, going crazy eating everything that moved. “He’s completely nuts, he just might eat me any minute!” thought Christian, and promptly swam off back home under his rock.
Sebastian on the other hand, was ecstatic about being a shark, and started to revel in this new life he had been granted. He went wherever he wanted to and ate whatever he felt like, whenever he felt like it.
However, after a while Sebastian became bored with this new life. Sharks don’t make friends very easily and he became lonely. He missed his dear old friend Christian, and wished he could hang out with him again, but knew that Christian would not want to be near him as a shark. “Oh, woe is me!” said Sebastian, “I miss my old buddy Christian. It’s not so great being a shark. Oh, how I wish I could change back into a prawn!”
There was a flash of light. “What was that?” said Sebastian. “Wha . hey wait . hey, I’m a prawn! I’ve changed back into a prawn!” he yelled happily. Immediately he swam back to the rock where he used to live with Christian.
“Hey Christian!” he called out, “It’s me, Sebastian! I’m back old buddy”
“You go away!” Christian called back. “You became a shark and you’re going to eat me. I don’t want you around here!”
“Don’t worry,” answered Sebastian. “Everything is ok .
. I'm a prawn again Christian!”
On the 7th day, God was arrested.
