Colin the Crab Falls in Love
Colin the Crab is a hard worker who loves spending his spare time with friends. He has a charming home, but lately it has started to feel a bit empty and lonely. Is it time for Colin to find a spouse? Colin is confused, and none of his friends knows how to advise him. One day Finley the Frog, the director of the river museum, calls Colin for help when an accident befalls an important exhibition of shells and corals. Among the broken shelves, Colin makes a delightful discovery: a girl crab with the most beautiful eyes along the riverbank.

After <strong>Col<strong>in</strong></strong> rejected Mrs. Catfish’s suggestion<br />
to buy antique furniture and a porcela<strong>in</strong><br />
tableware to impress female crabs, his friends<br />
f<strong>in</strong>ally gave up. They started to get ready to leave.<br />
“I’m afraid we aren’t much help,” Norma <strong>the</strong> Newt<br />
sighed.<br />
“We’ll let you know if we come up with some o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
ideas,” Eddie <strong>the</strong> Eel promised.<br />
The moon had traveled across <strong>the</strong> bay by <strong>the</strong> time<br />
that <strong>Col<strong>in</strong></strong> waved good-bye to his last guest. It was<br />
time to close <strong>the</strong> gate and go to bed.<br />
Actually, I did get a lot of help from <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>Col<strong>in</strong></strong><br />
thought. Now I know that I have to f<strong>in</strong>d a spouse <strong>in</strong><br />
my own way. It wouldn’t be like me at all to show off<br />
with fancy clo<strong>the</strong>s or by driv<strong>in</strong>g around <strong>in</strong> a motocopter.<br />
In his bedroom, <strong>Col<strong>in</strong></strong> could see <strong>the</strong> silvery moon<br />
sh<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g through <strong>the</strong> curta<strong>in</strong>. Before fall<strong>in</strong>g asleep,<br />
he went over <strong>the</strong> conversation with his friends<br />
once more.<br />
“I am <strong>Col<strong>in</strong></strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crab</strong> and nobody else,” he decided.<br />
“I should do f<strong>in</strong>e, just <strong>the</strong> way I am.”<br />
