Mark the shark lived in coral.

He loved to collect jars and odd objects.

Once, while swimming next to a garden, Mark found a jar.

The jar sparkled. Inside the jar was a shiny star.

Mark was amazed. The star jar was one of a kind.

Suddenly, a strong current came by.

The one of a kind star jar, drifted afar. It drifted close to the part of the sandbar.

"My jar!" he yelled. "That was the best jar." Mark was sad.

He swam fast, looking far and wide for the star jar.

As he was swimming, he spotted a sparkle. It was the jar! It was stuck next to an old barge.

Mark darted in, grabbed the jar with his fin, and swam back.

“Got it!” he said with a spark. Then Mark set it on his shelf.
