Once upon a time, a crab heard the story of how a rabbit and a tortoise had a race.
![Page 7: Race of Crab and Rabbit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568bf23f1a28ab893395f7ce/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The crab thought, I am more flexible than a tortoise, and I have eight legs.
![Page 8: Race of Crab and Rabbit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568bf23f1a28ab893395f7ce/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
This is twice as many as a rabbit so I think I can run faster than both the
rabbit and the tortoise.

The crab had a meeting with the rabbit.

“I have eight legs and you have just four legs so I think
I can run faster than you.”
![Page 11: Race of Crab and Rabbit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568bf23f1a28ab893395f7ce/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But, rabbit disagreed, and said, “You can’t go faster than me.”

The two of them quarrelled about who was faster.
More and more animals gathered around the crab and the rabbit.

The birds and the dog wanted to set up the race.
They wanted to be the judges, too.

Soon the crab and the rabbit were ready for the race.
They had to run until they reached the biggest tree in the forest.

The crab and the rabbit started to run after the dog shouted,
“Ready, set, go!”

The rabbit was in front of the crab.
![Page 20: Race of Crab and Rabbit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568bf23f1a28ab893395f7ce/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A few seconds later the dog shouted, “The crab is running
in the wrong direction.”
![Page 21: Race of Crab and Rabbit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568bf23f1a28ab893395f7ce/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The other animals could see the mistake and they
shouted at the crab.
![Page 22: Race of Crab and Rabbit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568bf23f1a28ab893395f7ce/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
But, the crab thought the animals were cheering for him,
so he kept running.

Finally, the rabbit reached the big tree at
the end of the race.
The crab was lying on the ground, foaming
at the mouth.
![Page 24: Race of Crab and Rabbit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568bf23f1a28ab893395f7ce/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A bird flew to the crab and said, “Rabbit has reached the big tree.
You have lost the race.”
The crab said, “It’s impossible because I didn’t see the
rabbit pass me.”
![Page 25: Race of Crab and Rabbit](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568bf23f1a28ab893395f7ce/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The bird said, “You are foolish because you always run sideways. You will never
reach your destination.”
The crab remembered that he had more legs than the rabbit but he learnt a lesson.
Now he is more modest.
