As a ship full of barrels of wine was sailing on the sea, it was attacked by a huge shark. The Captain ordered two sailors to grab a barrel of wine and throw it toward the shark. The shark crushed and swallowed the barrel and its wine, but continued to fiercely attack the ship. Desperate and feeling that he had no choice, the Captain ordered that one of the גויים be thrown overboard. The shark immediately swallowed the גוי whole. Unfortunately, the shark wasn’t satisfied. He continued to attack the ship, endangering all those aboard. Having no alternative, the crew told a Jew to say שמע ישראל and threw him into the sea. Several days later, after a long struggle, fishermen caught the shark, split open it’s belly and to their amazement found the Jew selling wine to the גוי.
