The Hungry Shark Who Ate Too Many Boats

The hungry shark which swam in the waters of Asiaarctatica, was known to be one of the hungriest ceatures in the entire animal kingdom. It could swim so fast that it was never caught - to the waters of Asia - arctatica, fear it brought. When the hungry shark, gnashed it's teeth, jellyfish squivered and ran away - knowing the hungry shark might eat them today. The hungry shark had a saw for a jaw and could eat a thousand fishes in one great gulp. When he yawned, the whole beach heard his cry, and hid for cover as he went swimming by. The hungry shark licked his lips, he drooled a lot at the sight of ships. The hungry shark hid in the rocks, waiting for sailors who sailed from the docks. Fishermen told tales of high seas and a hungry, old shark, who gobbled up whales and pounced after dark. It wasn't long, of course, before the hungry shark had finished them all, and the fishermen had trouble their tales to recall. The clam admiralty feared he would sink all the fleet - that he'd start nibbling their fingers and end with their feet. The Crab Commander in Chief called for a treaty - to ensure that the shark had no more sailors for tea. First he commanded a overseas search - and offered the shark a trout or a perch. But the shark was still hungry - and his belly still rumbled, another three battleship to the hungry shark crumbled. Parliament declared the army put up a fight - since it seemed that nothing could quench the shark's big appetite. But the mussel soldiers knees shook when they saw the great shark - they too ran away and hid in the dark. Although they would usually fight with great force, they feared the shark's teeth and much worse, they were the tasty main course. A battle ensued with the sea creatures firing cockleshells from guns - but it seemed that the shark was the main one who won. The hungry shark invited a mermaid to dine on his rock - but she said she go with a sailor from the dock. She too knew that a shark, with a hungry glint in his eye, would be rather dangerous and better go swimming by. A jellyfish too declined and said "No" "The fish and chip shop would be a better place to go !". Even the starfish preferred to paddle alone, rather than cuddle a shark and call his belly her new home. Although he'd had lots of friends for tea - the shark was soon lonely - in the waters of Asiaarctatica sea.
