Short stories: A trip to the aquarium

by Lupine

The Monterey Bay Aquarium has the great viewing wall of the Pacific Ocean. The glass wall is actually built right into the ocean. So looking through the glass you see the actual Pacific. Kelp beds and sea otters and all.

We went once and the sea otters were putting on a nice show. Playing and swimming among the kelp beds. My nephews were loving it as were all the kids watching.

Suddenly and and without warning this dark shape appeared through the kelp beds and headed strait for the playing otters. Some saw it coming and took off but one poor unsuspecting otter did not see the shark coming and before anybody really knew it, the otter was in the great white shark's mouth and then they were gone.

Most of the kids and adults were to stunned to even say anything, but one kid started crying.

One adult said, "These kids really got a lesson in life today."
