The Story of the Crow and the Crab

‘The Crow was behaving like the cat and the Crab was like the mouse; the Crow enjoying himself, the Crab in fear of his life. But whenever there is a dance soon enough there will be spectators...wherever there is a dancer there is bound to come another... These dances and these fights alas are everywhere... The really big and the really small; and life goes on like that.’
