While touring a Sioux Indian reservation and a tourist was invited to witness the selection of a new

The tourist was seated at a respectful distance behind the elders with a young chieftain to explain the proceedings.
Apparently the choice lay between three teenagers and everyone was awaiting their arrival. Shortly two squaws arrived accompanied by their sons, spread their buffalo hides on the ground and seated themselves to wait.
Eventually the third squaw was seen approaching in the distance, accompanied by her son. The tourist was amazed to see that they were riding on a Hippopotamus!

"That is our new chief," remarked the guide. "How can you say that?" said the observer. "The elders haven't even spoken to them yet."

"Easy" replied the guide. "As Pythagoras said, -
The son of the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides."

Justin & Christian and the mysterious Cod

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and the other called Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that inhabited the area.

Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm fed up with being a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten."
A large mysterious cod appeared and said, "Your wish is granted", and lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate.

Time passed (as it invariably does) and Justin found life as a shark boring and lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin didn't realise that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.

While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again and
he thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn. He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn. With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail.

Looking around the gathering at the reef he realised he couldn't see his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked. "He's at home, still distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark", came the reply. Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he set off to Christian's abode. As he opened the coral gate memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again. " Christian
replied, "No way man, you'll eat me. You're now a shark, the enemy, and I'll not be tricked into being your dinner. " Justin cried back "No, I'm not. That was the old me.

I've changed."................

"I've found Cod. I'm a prawn again Christian".
