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.

Clara and <strong>Col<strong>in</strong></strong> had a nice cup of tea toge<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
The two crabs chatted easily, never once<br />
runn<strong>in</strong>g out of th<strong>in</strong>gs to talk about. And after <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
break, <strong>the</strong> rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g work went very smoothly.<br />
The exhibition area was back <strong>in</strong> order by late afternoon.<br />
F<strong>in</strong>ley <strong>the</strong> Frog looked delighted. “<strong>Col<strong>in</strong></strong>, your<br />
help was <strong>in</strong>dispensable!” he declared. “We couldn’t<br />
have rebuilt <strong>the</strong> exhibition without you.”<br />
<strong>Col<strong>in</strong></strong> glanced toward Clara. “It wouldn’t have<br />
gone this well without Clara’s help. All I did was<br />
build <strong>the</strong> shelves and remove <strong>the</strong> broken pieces.”<br />
“We worked well toge<strong>the</strong>r, didn’t we?” <strong>the</strong> girl crab<br />
said with a smile. “And I’d love to come over to see<br />
your blue pavilion. I’m sure it’s quite lovely!”<br />
On his way home, <strong>Col<strong>in</strong></strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crab</strong> whistled happily.<br />
His cart felt light as he bounced up and down on<br />
<strong>the</strong> rocks along <strong>the</strong> streambed. What a great day<br />
this had been. Such a great day!<br />
