The Two Crabs

One fine day, two crabs emerged from their home to take a stroll on the warm sand. The mother crab looked at her child and said, "Child, you are walking very ungracefully. You should learn to walk straight forward without twisting from side to side."

The young crab replied, "Pray, mother, if you would only set the example yourself, I would gladly follow you."

This gentle exchange reminds us that example is the best precept.
