CRAB AND HIS HOUSE. Do you know what my name is? It is Mr. Crab. I live in a house make the houses they live in, but I have to make my own house. I do all the work with my claws. I hunt and fish for a living. I hunt in the sand for bugs and flies, and I hunt under the ground for worms. Sometimes I see a fish that I would like to eat. When he comes near me, I catch him with my big claw. How do I catch bugs and flies? I jump at them and catch them as a cat catches mice. Then I put them in my house to eat when I can not go out. You know now what I like to eat; but do you know that crabs are good for food? Do you know that birds and fish feed on crabs, and that little boys and girls eat them, too? When a bad boy catches me by one of my claws, and will not let go, I drop the claw and run. Then I hide till a new one grows. I keep on growing, but my shell does not grow. When I get too big for my shell, I take it off, and a new one grows in a few days. LANGUAGE LESSON.
