Morning all

JOTD

Two prawns, named Christian and Terry are off on their morning swim.

Soon they discover a codfish caught in a six pack ring. Cursing the humans, Christian and Terry help the poor fish out of his predicament. Now freed, he begins to glow mysteriously.

“Thank you,” he says. “My name is Cod, and I’m a wish-granting codfish. I’d like to grant each of you one wish for saving me.”

Christian thinks and says, “I wish to be attractive to lady prawns.” Cod grants his wish.

Terry thinks and says, “I’m tired of being the bottom of the food chain. Make me into a dangerous predator.”

So Cod turns Terry into a shark and swims away. Of course, Christian is terrified, swims under a pile of rocks and refuses to come out, no matter what Terry says.

Distraught, Terry seeks out the magic codfish once again. As he swims, most fish flee at the sight of him, or keep pace just behind his fins.

Finally he finds the codfish, this time stuck in a bicycle wheel. Terry frees him and wishes to go back to how he was. Then, wish granted, he happily swims back home to his friend, still under the pile of rocks.

“I have wonderful news,” says Terry. “My journey has been long and arduous, but I’ve found Cod, and I’m a prawn again, Christian!”
