Chapter 11 Two Crabs
One day, two crabs went down to a pit to look for food.After eating, they wanted to climb out of the pit, but because of jealousy, greed and selfishness, the two crabs refused to give in to each other and could not climb out.

When one climbed up, the other blocked it, and both crabs fell down at the same time.When the other one tried to climb up, this one stopped, and they rolled down together.Although their pincers and legs are very powerful, they have never been able to climb out of the pit.

They can't breathe fresh air in the pit and can't see the bright sunshine.They continued to linger in the stinking and disheartening darkness, not giving way to one another.In the end they all died in the pit.
