There were once two Shoreline crabs.
Crabby “A” had two big claws.
Crabby “B” had one small and one big claw.
One day, they both crawled out of from their homes underneath the big rock from the ocean shoreline to find food for the day.
Crabby “A” and Crabby “B” both spotted a tiny dead shrimp and bickered over who found it first.
Crabby “A” : Hey! I spotted that shrimp first!
Crabby “B”: I spotted that shrimp first, so I get to eat it! Ha, ha, ha…
They both fought vigorously with their claws raised up high and ended in a deadlock until they fell on their backs.
Suddenly a loud and fast gush of wave submerged both under water and drowned them for a moment.
By the time they waves were gone, so were their food.
They both squinted their tiny eyes and glared at each other for a moment and was sad that their food got washed away.
Moral lesson:
If only you have the kindness to share and not waste time fighting and bickering, both parties will benefit instead of suffering a total loss.
