STORY OF TWO CRABS

             Two crabs lived on the beach of a beautiful ocean. They were of the same age. But their sizes were different. One was big and fatty while the other was small. They were good friends. But the bigger crab had the habit of teasing the smaller crab for his size and shape. He often laughed at smaller one and treated him badly.
The smaller crab felt sorry for such behaviour of his friend. Gradually, he began to hate the bigger one and was waiting for a chance to teach his friend a lesson.
One day, the two friends saw some humans on their beach. They were very far away from the sea. So it was impossible for them to run and jump into the sea quickly. They decided to hide somewhere before they caught.
“My friend”, said the smaller crab, “it is better to hide in this crevice until the humans go away. Then we swim back into the sea.” The bigger agreed. But the crevice was not so big. The smaller crab went inside and easily slipped into a little corner safely.
“Oh, I am stuck!” cried the bigger crab, “only my front pincers have entered the rock. Please help me!” The smaller crab remained silent. So the humans spotted the bigger crab and pulled him out and enjoyed a delicious meal made from him.
The smaller crab was very happy to punish his enemy. He returned, to the sea after the humans left.
Moral: Cruelty never yields good result.
