AWESOME JAWSOME

When do we get to see sharks?" Stink asked. "Follow me to Sharks Ahoy!" Miss D. called out. "Cool!" said Stink. "Dun-dun, dun-dun," he sang as they walked around the rotunda, past penguins splashing in the Palace of Ice, and up a spooky, green-lit ramp. They followed Miss D. into a glass tunnel that went right through the shark tank. Sleek, slippery sharks swam around them on all sides. Stink gazed in silent awe at the monsters of the deep, with their black beady eyes, pointy snouts, and razor-sharp teeth. At last, Miss D. broke the silence. "Here we have a shiver of sand tiger sharks." "They're all teeth," said Sophie, shivering. "That one needs braces!" "Sand tiger sharks go through over three thousand teeth in their lifetime. They look megamean, like the great whites," said Miss D., "but they aren't really known to attack humans." "Awethome," said Webster, fiddling with his loose tooth again.

"Just think," said Stink. "If we lost three thousand teeth, and we got a dollar from the tooth fairy for each one we lost, we'd have three thousand dollars!"

Three of the FINS started urging Stink forward. "Snot after that!" said Stink. "You can touch it with your Jellyfish Finger," said Riley. "Since it already has cooties." "I was only kidding," said Miss D. "Phew," said Stink. "I thought you were serious." "But if you did touch a shark, it wouldn't feel smooth. A shark's skin is sandpapery, like a cat's tongue." "Miss D., have you ever touched a shark?" asked Sophie. "I have."

"So is the D for Dangerous?" "You're getting warmer," said Miss D., smiling. Just then, a spotted shark swam by. "This toothy guy right here," said Miss D., "is Mr. Spock. Can you guess what his favorite TV show is?" "Star Trek!" said Webster. "Shark Trek," said Miss D. Stink and his friends cracked up. Then they gave Mr. Spock a Vulcan hand salute. "Sand tiger sharks feed at night, so who would like to go behind the scenes and watch a shark eating dinner?" Several hands went up in the air. Miss D. pointed to Stink and his friends. "Why don't you three come with me? The rest of you
