One sunny afternoon, while taking a leisurely walk along a quiet and almost deserted stretch of the beach, a young man’s attention was suddenly caught by something unusual lying near the shoreline. At first glance, it looked like some kind of hard-shelled object—strange, unlike the typical seashells or driftwood he had often come across during his walks. Its odd shape and firm texture instantly sparked his curiosity.
Intrigued and eager to uncover what it might be, the young man carefully picked up the object and decided to take it home for a closer inspection. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that this was not just an ordinary shell but something far more peculiar.
Once back at his house, his curiosity grew stronger. Determined to solve the little mystery in his hands, he grabbed a pair of scissors and began prodding, cutting, and pressing against the tough shell-like casing. For a few moments, nothing happened. Then, to his absolute astonishment, the object gave way.
What happened next left him frozen in disbelief. From inside the strange casing emerged a living creature—a small, vividly colored fish that wriggled its way out into freedom. The young man stared at it, overwhelmed and speechless, unable to comprehend at first what he had just witnessed.
It took him nearly an hour of stunned reflection and quick research before the truth finally sank in. The mysterious object he had stumbled upon wasn’t just a random piece of shell. It was, in fact, a shark’s egg—a natural wonder that very few people ever encounter up close.
What started as a simple walk on the beach had turned into an extraordinary discovery, one that left the young man with a story he would never forget.
