Showing results for "Crab" in Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths

A long, long time ago in a kampong, there was a pond with plenty of fish. But the pond soon begins to dry up, and a watchful and greedy crane has an idea: He fools the fish into thinking that he will bring them to a large, sparkling lake. In the meantime, a crab who has been watching the crane has plans of his own…

A greedy monkey tricks a crab into trading her yummy omusubi rice snack for a single persimmon seed. But who will end up with the bigger reward in the end? This children’s story by Ryan Aoto is based on the traditional Japanese folktale “The Monkey-Crab Battle.”

Kipling’s classic tale taken from the Just So Stories. When all the other animals are learning their place in the world, the crab sneaks off and plays his own game. The havoc which ensues can only be put right with the help of a powerful magician.

This is a story from the Just So Stories collection.
