9th May 1938

Long ago a ship went out to sea. A big shark kept following it for a long time. The captain of the ship tried to shoot him, but he could not. They tried everything they could to keep him away. They threw out a can and he swallowed it then they threw out a can and he swallowed it. Then they threw out a goat and he swallowed it they throughout a stool and he still followed them. They then thought he must be looking for a human being. They cast lots to see which of them would be thrown out to him. The lot fell on an old woman and they threw her out and he swallowed her. He still followed them. They shot him at last and brought him into the ship and they opened him. They found the old woman sitting on the stool milking the goat into the can.
