The Beginning...
Long ago, when the birds of the air and the creatures of the sea, such as sharks and fish, arrived on Earth, they had gotten together very well - at first.
When the fish and the sharks first arrived at the ocean, they were quite happy with their living space even if they were living together.
But soon, the leader of the sharks, known as "Jaws", and the leader of the fish, known as "Tank", started to have a little bickering here and there. The bickering then turned into squabbling, the squabbling turned into physical fights.
"Why don't you sharks eat something else besides us fish?" Tank questioned.
"Because you are more abundant than any other type of organism in the sea and in addition to that, you are quite tasty!" Jaws answered.
"But you are going to make us become extinct." Tank retorted, while the other fish agreed.
"Well that looks like a personal problem to me. We have to eat something and that something we choose, are you fish" Jaws snarled.
As the fighting went on and on, neither of the shark community and the fish community saw a specific seagull because there was so much arguing, except every once in a while. Then, one day, the sharks and fish kept noticing the bird that was always perched on the big rock by the ocean.
"Does anyone else notice that bird over there always perched on that rock?" a member of the fish community asked.
"You're right. I've noticed that same bird always sitting in that same spot. It's like the bird is listening to us. Maybe that's just me." a hammerhead shark insisted.
Both the sharks and the fish all agreed in response. Now, this was the first time in a long time that everyone in both communities spoke to each other without resenting the other.
But then, of course they started fighting once again.
"Who cares? Can we just address the fact that you sharks need to acknowledge that you guys aren't the "kings" of the ocean like you all say?" Tank complained.
