“Aw, don’t you want to play no more?”

I shake my head and keep swimming.

“I can teach you how to hunt if you like?”

The nerve! A tiny prey fish like a minnow telling me how to hunt! But I don’t give him the satisfaction of seeing how annoyed I am.

I say nothing and swim on.

“Suit yourself!” says the minnow, “but don’t say I didn’t offer.” And with another lightning swish! of his silvery tail, the minnow is gone.

I swim on alone, getting more and more down in the dumps.

This is hopeless. Maybe Humphrey and Lenny were right. Maybe I will be home for dinner this evening, with my tail between my fins and a whole world of embarrassment to face up to.

Maybe I’m not cut out to be a lone shark after all.

Then I see something move out of the corner of my eye. It’s a big something. A really big something. I look down at the seabed. I can make out boulders and coral forests, sharp branches sticking up in the gloomy half-light. Then . . .

There it is again!

A shadow, huge and slow moving, rippling over the rocks.

Because of the lack of sunlight, I can only just make out a dim shape. Maybe it’s one of the humpback whales I heard booming earlier.

Or maybe it’s something else . . . something with sharper teeth.

Gulp.

But . . . what’s that? Is it a dorsal fin? Is it the . . . nose . . . the pointy nose of a shark? A great white shark?

Suddenly I’m more excited than scared.
