The Fox and the Crab

"The Fox and the Crab" is a tale by Aesop about the cunning fox and a naive crab. When the crab leaves its natural habitat in the sea to explore the shore at the suggestion of the fox, it is quickly caught and eaten. The story reinforces the cautionary message about the danger of stepping out of one's comfort zone and falling victim to deceitful individuals.

A Crab one day grew disgusted with the sands in which he lived.
He decided to take a stroll to the meadow not far inland. There
he would find better fare than briny water and sand mites. So off
he crawled to the meadow. But there a hungry Fox spied him, and
in a twinkling, ate him up, both shell and claw.
