I decided to go and ask my mom about the creature and if I could help it. When I asked her, she said, “This is an animal called a crab, and yes—you can help it. But be careful!” “Ok, thanks!” I said. I went back to help it, but I wasn’t sure how. Then I remembered my dad once told me, “Sea crabs need water.” So, I put on gloves and carefully picked it up with my hands. When the crab got splashed by the seawater, I realized how shimmery and cute it was. I tried to leave, but it kept following me! So I decided to keep it as a pet. First, I wanted to ask my mom for permission because she might not want a crab in the house. Of course, she didn’t want to make me sad, so she said, “Yes, you can!” I took the crab to the pet shop and looked for supplies. I only found food and a crab tank. I took them home and even made lots of toys for him by hand. I still didn’t know what crabs eat, so I asked my mom for ideas. She said, “How about watermelon?”
I didn’t think it would work—but I tried it anyway. And guess what? It really worked! In the end, the little crab became my best friend. The End 😊
