Si Don Paking ang pinakatuso at pinakamabangis magpatubo sa utang. Napakaagap niyang maningil. Malupit siya sa kahit sino—maliban sa kanyang tanging anak na si Rosa. Nang mawala si Rosa sa laot, matagal na sumisid saa ilalim ng dagat si Don Paking. Hindi na sya muling umahon. May nagpalagay na nalunod siya. Isang araw, may biglang sumulpot sa gitna ng dagat na mabangis na isda, may matulis na ilong at matatalas na ngipin, kinakain nito ang maliliit na isda—pati tao! Pating! ————— Don Paking was the most cunning and ruthless moneylender. He was always prompt when it came to collecting debts. He was cruel to everyone—except for his only child Rosa. When Rosa disappeared at sea, Don Paking stayed for a long time under the water searching for her. He never came out again. Some people believed he drowned. One day, there suddenly appeared in the middle of the sea a very ferocious creature! With its pointed nose and very sharp teeth, it preyed on small fish—and even human beings! A shark!
