- Description
- There was once a crab which was trying to eat the husks of millet and the owner drove it away. When it went back into the water it told its mother that people were driving it away. The mother said "Leave them, they will come to draw water and we will see them." But when they came to draw water they found the crab telling its mother and they were afraid and ran back to the village to tell the boys who came with their bows and arrows to kill the crab, as they were afraid the crab might in some way take its revenge for being denied food. Story.
