With one vigorous stroke of its fins, the voracious animal shot toward the Indian, who jumped aside and avoided the shark's bite but not the thrashing of its tail, because that tail struck him across the chest and stretched him out on the seafloor.
Le vorace animal, d'un vigoureux coup de nageoire, s'élança vers l'Indien, qui se jeta de côté et évita la morsure du requin, mais non le battement de sa queue, car cette queue, le frappant à la poitrine, I étendit sur le sol.
