The Crab That Played with the Sea — Rudyard Kipling
The Crab That Played with the Sea is a tale by Rudyard Kipling from the Just So Stories about why crabs walk sideways.
The Crab That Played with the Sea is one of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories (1902). When the Eldest Magician created all the animals and taught them to play, one crab decided to play in his own way — with the sea itself.
A fantastical aetiological tale explaining why crabs and the sea behave the way they do. Kipling masterfully combines humour with myth-making.
