After a long swim I was lying on a palm-fringed beach. The sun was shining very strongly and the sand was hot when I felt that I was hungry.

„What is the problem,” I thought, shaking the palm in order to throw down the only coconut dangling on it. Unfortunately, the fruit did not fall into my hands but rolled straightly into the water where a shark was waiting for me. I did not know what to do: I was very hungry but I couldn’t get the coconut because it threatened with becoming the food myself.

„I will be cleverer than you,” I thought, and decided to catch the animal and swim home on its back. It was not a simple task but I could manage.

I do not know what tempted me to kiss it, but when I had done it, the shark turned into a beautiful princess and we are a very happy family now.
