Congratulations to Emily K. of D Block. Her retelling of a childhood a story was heart-warming. Take a look at her solid post below! She even included the moral of the story.
One fable my cousin told me was about a crab. It was about a crab named Jerry.
One day Jerry was walking on the beach, he knew a storm was coming in the next few days so he hid in the rocks until the storm passed. After the storm passed Jerry wondered the entire beach looking for the hole in the sand to enter his house. After searching the beach for hours he could not find it anywhere. Another crab, named Cindy, noticed how distressed Jerry was and asked him what was wrong. Jerry told her that he can not find his house. Cindy said that he can stay with her until he rebuilds his house. Thinking that Jerry was too good for Cindy he declined her offer and slept outside for the night. Cindy offered Jerry a place to sleep and he finally accepted the offer. Jerry entered Cindy’s sand house and loved it! It reminded him of his house, so after that connection he warmed up to her. Jerry started to get a crush on Cindy after he realized what kind of personality she had. He became very connected to Cindy and one day asked her to marry him. They had a little crab wedding and one day found some of Jerry’s things washed up on shore. As they picked up the items on shore they remembered the days of when they first met. Jerry thought back when he disliked Cindy and he was very thankful he did not decline her offer again.
Moral - Never judge someone before you get to know them. (Never judge a book by its’ cover)
Im not sure if it is still popular today because it seemed to stay within my family. I heard it when I was 5 years old in New Hampshire- my grandmother's house.
