The hungry shark swam beneath
the unsuspecting surfer and began
to position itself for an attack. Then the fish noticed the hot pink toenail
polish on the foot that dangled over the surfboard and
losed its appetite.
The third verb, losed, is the problem. This sentence requires the simple past of lose, an irregular verb. Lost is the correct form; losed is a spelling error.
