THE CRAB AND ITS MOTHER.
A crab said to her son: "Why do you walk so one-sided, my child? It is much better to go straight forward."
The young crab replied: "Quite true, dear mother, and if you will show me the straight way, I will promise to walk in it."
The mother tried in vain, and submitted without a word to say to her child.
Example is more powerful than precept.
