Rejected! Again!

No, no, no! Why do they always react like that? They come into my home, play their human games, and when I try to play, they swim away or try and kill me!

It’s enough to make a grow shark cry (if we had tear ducts, of course). Okay, sure. I admit that I can sometimes be a little rough. But it’s not my fault! Really!

I know I’m not supposed to play with my food. But humans don’t really count. I mean, food is seals and dolphins and… well… pretty much anything that swims.

But humans? Blech! They’re fun to play with, sure, but they have no fat on them! I mean, come on. If I were to try and eat humans all the time, I’d starve to death!

At least I’m not as bad as that tiger shark. They’ll eat anything!

Oh, hey! I think they’re coming back!

Maybe they want to play, after all!
