Aesop - The Crab and Its Mother lyrics

A CRAB said to her son, "Why do you walk so one-sided, my child? It is far more becoming 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 remonstrance to the reproof of her Child. Example is more powerful than precept.
