"Fins the Shark"
by
Joe

O
nce upon a time there was a little shark named Fins. Nobody thought highly of Fins because he was so small. And no doctor could figure out what his problem was.

Everybody thought highly of the General of the Shark Army, Fang. Fang was the largest fish in the ocean. He guarded the pack practically with no one. The army was large, and most of the fish in the sea were scared to even go near the army.

3 years later, Fins was still the same shape. But he wanted to be in the army so badly that he had nightmares about it. When he asked Fang if he could be in the army, Fang said, "We don't need any little Plankton like you." Then, the pack left Fins be and went off to play Marco Polo.

One day, the sharks were playing a game of Marco Polo when Fins heard it: the sound of a fishing boat. Fins tried to get away from the boat, but a camera spotted him at the bottom and sent it to the captain via computer. He dropped the anchor and started to cast the line. Fins had a path placed in front of him: Tell the sharks, or let them become a casserole?" when the bait hit the water, he went to warn the sharks. He pleaded for them not to eat it. But they just kept on swimming toward the bait.

Fang got there first. The hook pierced through fang's chin, and he started floating towards the top. Fins was desperate. But, he had an idea. He weaved his way through the fishing strings from the boat (it was quite easy because he was so small.) and gnawed at all the strings until they had all floated towards the bottom. Fangs was just about to get beheaded to become casserole when Fins jumped out of the water and bit the fisherman. He accidentally hit the mast, tilting the ship!

Fangs floated back into the ocean, safe. He breathed in salt water frantically. When he had caught his breath, he thanked Fins. He said as a thank-you gift, he would let Fins be the new Admiral. He became big and strong working in the army and lived largely ever after.



The End
