The article that I read was about two males and they were on a boat heading from Kiribati to Maiana to fish. They only packed enough stuff for that day and they fell asleep on the boat and the drifted away from their original destination. The older guy had gone days without water and eventually passed away, the other guy eventually found land. Several days later a shark had come to the shore and woke the guy up by hitting the boat he was in and led him to a ship nearby. This article is interesting to me because normally we thank of sharks as mean, killing creatures but in reality most of them mean no harm at all. I think that people give the sharks a bad name just because of people that had been killed by them or have been injured by them but sharks do not always realize what they are biting into. Whenever they are biting into human flesh they think that it is their normal food that they eat. Most sharks have never bit a human so they would not know what the difference from their normal food is until the bite into the flesh. This man was very lucky that the shark actually led him to people on a ship. I truley think that God was watching over this man.
