Shark Attack

"Oh  Father! All is in despair,"called Fritz.

 "Despair? And why is that?" my father questioned.

"Oh! There is an exceptionally large fish charging us!"

"That is no reason to be in despair. But be at your ready with your gun."

The shark, for that is what it really was, came so close I could have touched him. But Fritz aimed so skillfully that all three balls hit it in the head!  It rolled on it's belly and swam away.
