A crab used to live inside the sea. He had developed the skill of communicating with the sea since his childhood. The sea also took very good care of him. It provided all the amenities the crab needed for living happily inside the sea.
One day, the crab expressed his desire to come out of the sea and walk on the sand of sea shore. The sea warned the crab that there are many people who also roam on sea shore and they could pose danger to his life. The crab promised that he would not go very far and would roam very near to the shores and would return inside sea if he sensed any danger. The sea agreed.
The crab came out of the sea. He became very happy to see the beauty of outside world for the very first time. He looked up and saw the bright shining sun and blue sky. He saw few persons playing basketball at some distance. Then he saw his footprints on the sand. He became very happy. He had never seen his footprints ever before. So, he started walking on the sand and started making some designs with his footprints.
However, while he was busy in appreciating the beauty of his footprints, a huge sea wave came and erased all the footprints. The crab became extremely sad seeing his beautiful design of footprints getting disappeared. He looked at the sea and said, "I have always lived inside you and never complained anything. But when I came out today and was enjoying such beautiful scenic views, you could not resist and destroyed my enjoyment."
The sea listened everything and then said, "My dear crab. I have only loved you and was happy to see you enjoying your time. But you were lost in your enjoyment and did not sense that the crabbers have discovered your presence by seeing your footprints. Look on your right, those crabbers were following the footprints and would have caught you, had I not erased them with my strong wave. Dear crab, just try to understand the others' feelings before putting any blames. They might not be the same person as you perceive them to be."
Understanding his mistake, the crab apologized and went inside sea saving himself from getting caught by the crabbers.
