- Abstract
- en_US This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 32 pages in length, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the first level, and the text is appropriately simple. It is a "pourquoi" story telling how the crab got his claws. The cover also presents it as "A Just So Story by Rudyard Kipling." Crab was huge and non-compliant to the Wise Man. Crab splashed about creating floods and turning the sea to mud. The Wise Man ordered "Stop playing with the sea!" but Crab shouted "No!" Then the Wise Man reduced Crab's size. When Crab asked how he could eat, a girl offered him her scissors, and now all crabs have scissor claws. The booklet finishes with puzzles and answers.
