The Young Crab And His Mother One day, a young crab and his mother were on the beach, spending some time together. The young crab gets up to move, but it can only walk sideways.

Hearing this, his mom gets up to show him how, but even she is unable to bend her knees forward. She realizes that she was being unfair, apologizes sheepishly, and sits back in the sand.
