The Crab’s Walk

Once, on the shore of the sea, there lived a Mother Crab with her Baby Crab. They made their home in the sand. The Mother Crab and her baby would go together for a walk every day. They would see all the fish in the sea and enjoy the cool breeze.
One evening, the Mother and her Baby were walking on the shore. The Mother Crab told the baby Crab, “Baby Crab, why do you walk this way?”
The Baby Crab was worried and asked his Mother, “What is the matter, Mother? Am I doing something wrong?”
“Yes, my dear child. You are bending to your left side while you are walking. It does not look good. You should try walking straight. You will look graceful,” said the Mother Crab.
The Baby Crab observed his walk for a while and then said, “You might be right. Mother, can you show me how to walk correctly so that I may walk like that?”
The Mother Crab was delighted and started walking in front of the Baby Crab. But she could not walk straight how much ever she tried. She kept bending towards one side or the other. And then she fell into the sand. All the animals on the shore started laughing at her.

The Mother Crab felt bad for her behaviour and told Baby Crab, “You can walk in the manner you feel you are comfortable. Even I cannot walk straight. I am sorry for asking you to change. You must walk in the manner that makes you feel good.”
The Baby Crab hugged his Mother and they walked all the way back home.
