Page 6 - Selfish Shellfish
P. 6
Soon I noticed one of crabs watching me. So I walked over to introduce myself. He backed up to a rock and put up his claws like he was ready for a fight. But then I spoke in “shellfish” and introduced myself. “Hello Mr. Crab, my name is Cosmos Crow and I would like to be your friend.”
You should have seen his big smile. Then I asked, “Tell me Mr. Crab, what is your name.” “My name is Carl,” he replied.
“So Carl, what is it like to be a crab,” I asked. Carl frowned and said, “You know, crabs are crabby.” Well I will admit that I did not know much about crabs, although I had heard the word crabby before.
