ALBERTI S B O R E D AS NO -ONE S E E MSI N T E R E S T E D IN H IM.One day he has an encounter that will change hislife. He comes across a shark that has a terrificdevice – a long, slender, saw-like snout equippedwith sharp, tooth-like projections on each edge. Itis very solid and useful, enabling him to undertakesome quite intricate activities. Albert is ratherenvious of how the shark can use his snout soskilfully.The sawshark is regularly called upon throughoutthe reef, whether to shape a giant sponge, cleara passage through the coral or cut some largealgae that are suffocating everything else. He iscourageous, strong, tireless and highly respected.Albert, fascinated by the amazing work of this jackof-all-trades, would also like to be useful. But howcan he accomplish great things when he’s only gota small pointed nose that is fragile at best?Feeling this is what he is destined to do, he setsout to find a surgeonfish to ask for his aid. “You’reso skilful and I need your assistance. Like thesawshark, I’d like to help the inhabitants of the reef.Could you please adapt my head and my body sothat I can build, shape and repair the underwaterlandscape?”The surgeonfish therefore carries out a verydelicate operation. It transforms the young shark’snose into a large, strong and powerful hammer,adding an eye to each side so he has a wide rangeof vision.90| HERITAGE RESORTS STORIES
