One fine day two Crabs¹ came out from their home to take a
stroll on the sand. "Child," said the mother, "you are walking
very ungracefully. You should accustom² yourself, to walking
straight forward without twisting from side to side."

"Pray, mother," said the young one, "do but set the example
yourself, and I will follow you."

Example is the best precept³.
