Most executable files have been compiled, which means they're no longer readable by humans. You'll have to find the source code for the program, which probably won't be located in /bin/sh, but in the creator's home directory or perhaps in one location if everyone agreed to store their source code there...

Hmm.. after reading this post, I don't think the above is the answer you wanted, but I can't help you anymore. Your instructor can help you more than anyone here.
