nce there was a fish named Sebastian. One day he saw a strange object in the water. So being a curious fish, he went to see what it was. When Sebastian was almost to the surface, he was a shadow, it moved.

Suddenly, he knew what it was. It was a great white shark! He saw another strange thing also. There was a cage hanging from a rope into the water. It was being lowered into the water by the big strange object that he now knew was a ship, and there was a man in it. He saw the man watching the shark closely.

Then the shakr noticed Sebastian. He began to chase him. The great white shark chased him to the bottom. Sebastian knew that if he could get to his home he would be safe. He lived in a cave that the great white shark would be be able to fit in. He could see it ahead of him. His home was not far away, but the great white shark was not more than an inch behind him. Then Sebastian was gone.
