text: God gave the sea monkeys (aka as brine shrimps, or simply shrimp) 3 gifts which allowed them to prosper; On the first day he poured water at room temperature (27o C.) into the sea monkey tank. he then gave them GIFT #1: he poured the water purifier into the water and stirred. On the second day, he gave them GIFT #2, and added life into the tank. He kept the aquarium in a shaded area away from direct sunlight. In the following 5 days the sea monkeys started slowly filling up the tank, and swam around gracefully. On the seventh day the sea monkeys watched in awe as God gave them GIFT #3. Growth food was falling from the sky, it was an amazing sight. Not one sea monkey was left deprived of growth food. The aquarium prospered. Since then, the seventh day of the week has become known as Fooday. There was a fourth gift, GIFT #4. But God gave it to only one sea monkey. On the eighth day, Jo swam out of the tank into the air. It was unheard of. Despite being out of purified water, jo had no trouble breathing. He was floating through space, and with God’s direction he evaded every space giant who swatted at him. He did so effortlessly. He was not phased at all by the sights of space that would scare any other shrimp. Eventually, against all odds, he found another sea monkey settlement. He landed there and introduced himself to the shrimp of the tank who all gathered around him and listened to his preaching. He told them of the settlement he was born in, of the 3 gifts. Turns out, their aquarium was created the same way. God gave them the same three gifts and they too, are blessed with food every Fooday. The shrimp of the tank were happy about their guest. He stayed there for the next few weeks to get to know the tank and those living in it. He was treated very hospitably. Finally, Jo’s visit came to an end; he said his goodbyes to everyone and left. They all watched as he departed. Jo flew in space like a shining comet, leaving behind him a trail of colorful particles. It was a great sight to behold. Jo was very satisfied with his finding, and couldn’t wait to tell everything he saw to his old shrimp friends. But the shrimp in his tank didn’t receive the news very well. You see, Jo was venturing through space for a long time, And each week that passed the sea monkeys of his tank became greedier and greedier, wanting more and more food. They were no longer satisfied by what could last them for a week. Now, when food rained on Fooday, they started eating each other. They believed that when they eat someone, they also eat all the growth food that person ate. Instead of being a day about peace and rest, it became a feared day where everyone had to tussle for their own survival. Jo told his friends about the new world he found, about how food rains from the sky there too. They were excited. But not for the finding of another sea monkey settlement. They were excited for the prospect of more food. They demanded he would take them there, so they could wage war and get their food. But Jo refused, he could not betray those people, who treated him so courteously. He tried to explain but his fellow shrimps didn’t want to listen. They got mad. “He must be going there on his own and getting as much food as he wants, eh?” one said. They thought he was using his god given GIFT selfishly. The crowd rallied, shouting and screaming. Jo tried to calm them down in a futile attempt, because now they wanted one thing more than food. The fourth GIFT. So they did what they knew and started eating Jo. Everyone fought to get a bite out of him, until eventually nothing remained. Sea monkeys who got a bite out of Jo believed they got the GIFT, and tried jumping out of the aquarium in hopes of floating in space just like Jo did. But each one who tried ended up dead. The next Fooday never came. When Friday ended, Sunday rolled around. The sea monkeys never got their food again, and without food they lived with no purpose.
