The Crab And Its Mother
Aesop Fable: The Crab And Its Mother
A crab said to her son, "Why do you walk so one-sided, my
child? It is far more becoming to go straight forward."
The young Crab replied: "Quite true, dear Mother; and if you
will show me the straight way, I will promise to walk in it."
The Mother tried in vain, and submitted without remonstrance
to the reproof of her child.
Example is more powerful than precept.
