The natural home of crabs is water. They come out on land off and on, just like turtles. But they are safe in water only. One day, a young crab came out of the water and strayed far into a meadow. The meadow was full of green grass and apparently looked like a good place to live in. The young crab was not aware that the meadow could be dangerous for it and if it stayed there too long, it could get killed by an eagle or a fox. But it stayed on with a desire of settling there. Just then, a hungry fox passed that way. Seeing the crab, the fox moved up to it and caught it in his mouth. Now the young crab realised his folly and said to himself, ‘I deserve this. I left my natural home and was attracted by a place to which I did not belong.’
