Read the excerpt from the play The King of Sharks, and examine the picture:

Scene 4

Fishermen and other villagers are crowded around the pool outside the princess's house. The princess and her son stand in front of them.

Princess: It is time for my son to join his father in the ocean.

Prince: I'm very sorry for all the trouble I've caused.

Villagers: Back to the ocean with you!

Prince: I promise to never take more than my share of the fish again.

Prince hugs his mother goodbye and wraps the cloak around his shoulders. He jumps into the pool and swims down so deep that no one can see him. Far off, out in the ocean, a huge shark fin can be seen bobbing above the water. Soon, a smaller fin joins it.

Narrator: The Shark Prince joined his father in the ocean, and to this day, the sharks never take more than their share of the fish.

A large shark and a smaller shark swim in the deep blue ocean with only a little light coming from above.

The sharks and the princess might be jumping in the waves with sunshine and a rainbow to convey the happy tone of the revised passage.

The sharks might be hiding behind a large rock sticking out of the ocean to convey the suspenseful tone of the revised passage.
