    The Tale of the Giant Crab

    Once upon a time, high up in the mountains, there was a lake inhabited by a giant crab, larger than any crab imaginable—bigger than a car, even a truck, with claws as big as motorbikes. This colossal crab lived alone in the lake, preying on the animals that came to drink water. Deer, antelopes, foxes, wolves, lions, tigers, and elephants frequented the lake, only to fall victim to the crab's powerful claws.
