“Where shall we be, where we must be!”

“Just a very good prospect!” exclaimed Mr Crab. “Let’s go sailing!”

“Gah, you won’t do that!” cried Mrs Crab. “That’s no way to go sailing.”

“You can sit on my back,” said Mr Crab. “I’ll sit right here behind you.”

He was a matter of fact, it was a rather small crab. She was quite as though she had a great allergy.

“Here’s the course!” shouted Mr Crab. “Just down to the kitchen and no more!”

“How long have I gotta get?” cried Mrs Crab. “How short do I need?”

“Be light of aspirin,” said Mr Crab. “How much must I pay?”

“I’ve got a very good idea.”

“What kind?”

“Something to wash with … why, here’s the perfect thing.”

“What’s that, Dad?”

“Never mind,” said Mr Crab.
