The Crab and His Mother

"My child," said a Crab to her son, "why do you walk so awkward? If you wish to make a good appearance, you should go straight forward, and not to one side as you do so constantly."
"I do wish to make a good appearance, Mamma" said the young Crab; “and if you will show me how, I will try to walk straight forward."
"Why, this is the way, of course," said the mother, as she started off to the right, "No, this is the way," said she, as she made another attempt, to the left.
The little Crab smiled. "When you learn to do it yourself, you can teach me," he said, and he went back to his play.

“我的孩子，”螃蟹媽媽對兒子說，“你怎么走起路來這么難看呢？要想看起來像模像樣,你就應該徑直朝前走，而不是像你一樣總是朝一邊走。”
“我真希望能像模像樣,媽媽.”小螃蟹說，”如果你能教我怎么做，我就會努力之朝前走.”
“哎呀，當然了，就是這樣！”媽媽說著，一邊就開始朝右邊走。
“不，是這樣的啦！”她說，一邊又朝左邊來。
螃蟹笑了，說：“等你自己學會了再來教我吧！”然后，他就回去玩了。
