Once upon a time there was a sea infested by sharks .There were two sharks called Russel and Michael. Russel was helpful and cared for the fish. He killed them only when he felt extremely hungry but Michael was the opposite. He was greedy and never bothered about others. Russell advised Michael many times to mend his ways but Michael never bothered.

One day, a fisherman cast his net in the sea. He put many dead fish in to act as prey. Michael saw this and wanted to eat them. Russell advised him that was a fisherman’s net. Michael did not care and went ahead to eat the fish. Just as he went into the net, the fisherman pulled at it and lifted it out of the water. Michael died in a few seconds. He would have lived if he had listened to Russell.
