Tales From An African Night


Narrated By Janet Odidi Obuotor 

For echoblog-ger.blogspot.com 

Once upon a time a fisher man went out to sea and fetched some crabs. He placed the crabs in a bucket by the seashore and left to go attend to his fishing net.

The crabs filled with excitement that their captor was nowhere in sight, decided that it was time to get away and crawl back into the sea. 

Each crab 🦀  moved as fast as it could and tried to crawl up the side of the bucket.

Rather than assist the crab crawl out of the bucket, the other crabs pulled it back into the bucket. 

Again and again the crabs kept crawling over each other and pulling each other back into the bucket.

Soon the fisherman was back to his bucket full of crabs. 

That evening the fisherman had a delicious meal of fisherman soup, made with the crabs. 

Moral of the story;

Number 1: 

The wrong crowd will pull you away from attaining your your success story.

Number 2:

Not everybody that shares the same intents with you, tends to help you achieve.

Number 3: 

Sometimes in life there are people whose only goal is to pull you back from your path to success.  Learn to identify them.
