"Why
in the world do you walk sideways like that?" said a Mother Crab to her
son. "You should always walk straight forward with your toes turned
out."
"Show
me how to walk, mother dear," answered the little Crab obediently, "I
want to learn."
So
the old Crab tried and tried to walk straight forward. But she could
walk sideways only, like her son. And when she wanted to turn her toes out she
tripped and fell on her nose.
Moral: Do
not tell others how to act unless you can set a good example.
