There was a little crab..

Story and Illustrated By Divya.
Typed by Amma


There was once a little crab.
He lived in a little shell.
Then he started growing big.
Then the shell did not fit for him.
Then he left from the shell.
And he walked and walked and walked and found another shell.
But that shell had nothing in it.
It was like mamool and plain.
Then he walked and walked again because he wanted to design his shell.
Then he found some things to decorate his shell and then he took much time so that shell got too small.
Then another crab came and then he was looking for a shell too.
Then he said "hi" to the other crab. Then he said "What are you looking for?"
The crab said "I am looking for a shell". Then he said "Me too. You can have mine"
Then he went and found another big shell to live in.
The End.
