A Short Summary: Reef Shark

A few years back, in the southern-most part of the Red Sea, lived two common enemies. One was a Reef shark by the name of Luci. Other members of his clan mockingly called him Lucifer, since his beady eyes and sharp teeth were fit for the devil himself. Luci 's natural born enemy was a small Angelfish by the name of Gabriel. Gabriel was just as you might expect an angelfish to be, timid and sweet. He had a sort of angelic glow to him, you might say. Luci and Gabriel lived in the same reef, but Luci had plans to drive the Angelfish out of what he had called "his home." The reef was quite a beautiful place. It was thriving with colors and marine life of all sorts. In the light of the morning sunrise, it would turn first light blue, then a faint

So naturally, one morning as Gabriel was swimming to work in a cheerful mood, Luci decided it was time. He carefully snuck behind him and was ready to attack. Luci was just on his tail when the giant felt something envelop his body. The next thing he knew, he was the one under attack. Luci had heard on the news that there had been an increase of illegal shark fishing in his area. He felt himself being dragged up to the surface in this harsh net. Suddenly, everything in his beady eyes went dark. He could have sworn he felt the water turn frigid and black clouds form in the sky above him. He sensed the net starting to cut through his skin, and he grimaced from the pain. Luci 's life had flashed before his eyes, and it was full of regret. He regretted that he held a grudge against everyone he met. He shuddered at the thought of the amount of blood on his fins after the countless fish he had slaughtered. There he was, caught in the act, red-finned, about to take another innocent life, Gabriel 's life. The terrifying creature started to sob and knew that he deserved what was coming for him. He was about to surrender, knowing that he had no real friends that would come to save

He then remembered how stupid the reason of his grudge against Gabriel had been. He blushed, and he was starting to understand the importance of friendship. "I just saw that you were in trouble and thought that I should lend a helping hand." beamed Gabriel. "Like I always say," he added, "be careful who you call your enemies, for one day, they might save your life." Gabriel brushed off his chivalry as just an everyday good deed. The first thing that Luci did after being rescued was to treat Gabriel and all of the Saw-fish to coffee at Fishbucks. Although the tab came out to be more than $600, Luci now knew that he could not put a price on friendship. "You don 't have to do this, you know. A simple thank you would have been plenty", Gabriel urged. However, Luci would not listen and continued with the repayment. Since then, Luci 's new nickname was Lucy, to show his improved mild manner. From that moment on, Luci and Gabriel had become best friends. They lived in harmony in the peaceful reef for the rest of their
