Absolutely correct, Velveteen! Kinda. It definitely answers the riddle, anyway, so 100%.
The solution I heard was that the man, his wife and a stranger were on a cruise when the ship ran aground and capsized. The three managed to swim alone to a deserted island, where they waited to be rescued. There was no food. After a week, the man’s wife died. They buried her on the island. The next day the man slept in, and awoke to see the stranger cooking meat over a fire. “Where did you get that?” he asked. “I caught a shark! It was sickly, I was able to wrestle it to land with my bare hands and it suffocated. I cut the best pieces off and threw the rest away.” The two men began to eat, and it was good. “I didn’t know shark meat would be red,” the man said, thoughtfully. “I thought they were fish, and had white flesh.” “Oh, no,” said the stranger, “they don’t have scales like fish, I don’t think they really are fish. Plus they’re huge. I think anything that big and strong has to be warm blooded, so, red meat.” After another week, a rescue helicopter saw the men on the island and rescued them. A year or so later, the man was walking down the street, and, seeing the advertised special, just had to go in and get another taste of delicious shark. Needless to say, he put it all together when the soup came, with chunks of normal, white-pink shark meat with rubbery consistency, not at all like what he’d had on the island. He could only conclude that he had inadvertently cooked and eaten his wife’s body, and couldn’t live with himself afterwards. |
