When dawn came, they saw that the ship was washed up on a sandbar just a few hundred feet away. However, the inlet was crawling with hungry sharks. The strongest young man volunteered to bring back the food. "I'm strong and I'm a good swimmer. I think I can make it." He dove in and give it his best shot, but the sharks devoured him before he had a chance to get close to the ship. "I'm a clergyman," another man volunteered. "The Lord will protect His servant." But he too became shark chow. Finally, a lawyer stepped forward. "I think I can get to the ship," he said. Sure enough, as soon as he got into the water, a dozen sharks lined up and escorted his to and from the ship. He made the round trip unharmed and brought everyone some food. "It's a miracle!" several of the passengers shouted. "Nah, it's no miracle," the lawyer replied. "It's just professional courtesy."
