Warm water generally provides shark food, and a rich diet inflames the shark’s aggression. In British waters sharks usually swim peacefully between ten and twenty miles off- shore where warm water currents fatten mackerel and pilchards for their food.

I have only one hand.” Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get.yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!” In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying. That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look.
