The fish aren't sharks or whales, but eating varieties like cod and skate which have grown to unnatural sizes. These factors have caused this to happen: the warmth from the hot oil-pipes, the plentiful food by the crews on the rigs and the absence of fishing around the rigs. Composition Now I am writing to tell you a strange story that I heard from the divers during our visit. The divers had to work at a depth of sixty feet under water. At first, their work went on well. But some time later, one diver reported that he got a nasty bump in the dark, and all the divers were frightened out of their wits. As a result, they dared not go on with their work. This sounded like a joke. Upon hearing this, the men on the rigs all laughed. But the divers thought there must be a monster in the deep ocean. Then, a second team went down. But they came up immediately， for they were again bumped by some giant creature as they worked. It turned out to be some huge fish: a cod eight feet in length， and a skate twelve feet across. The divers refused to go down again. The managers had to promise to have special cages made to protect them. Quiz Part 1.
