Shark - Not Brave Heart - Max Marshall - Bog

Ashley is unlike any other shark in the ocean. Paralyzed by fear, she sees danger lurking around every corner, convinced that everyone wants to harm her. But one fateful day, Ashley crosses paths with Ezra, a small and fearless fish who defies all expectations. Unlike other small fish who flee from Ashley's presence, Ezra boldly swims towards her, unafraid and curious.
As their friendship blossoms, Ashley is astounded by Ezra's audacity and bravery. Despite her own reservations, Ashley becomes fascinated by Ezra's adventurous spirit, often teetering on the brink of life and death. Recognizing Ashley's yearning to overcome her fears, Ezra takes it upon herself to teach the shark how to be courageous.
Through Ezra's guidance, Ashley learns the art of stealthy hunting. She discovers how to approach her prey with precision and strike with confidence. With each lesson, Ashley grows stronger and braver, shedding her cowardly nature. The once timorous shark begins to believe in her own innate power, realizing that all sharks are formidable apex predators who command respect.
However, as Ashley's predatory instincts awaken, an animalistic rage consumes her. In an unfortunate twist of fate, Ashley succumbs to her primal nature, unwittingly devouring her dear friend, Ezra. This heartbreaking turn of events serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of unchecked power and the importance of tempering strength with empathy.
