ONE DAY A WISE OLD ROCK, LIVING IN THE DEEP DARK SEA

AWOKE AS TWO SPIDER CRABS WALKED ACROSS HIM NOISILY.

THEY CHATTERED ON A BIT, AND DECIDED THEY HAD FOUND

ANSWERS TO THE MYSTERIES OF THE GREAT SEA ALL AROUND.

the old rock sat in silence

and felt himself flush red.

as they walked across his back, this is what they said....

LIKE THIS POOR OLD ROCK...

STUCK IN THIS OCEAN FLOOR.

HE LIVES HIS LIFE IN DARKNESS,

NOT KNOWING THERE IS MORE!

WE KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT

AND WE KNOW WHAT IS WRONG.

AND IF OTHERS DO NOT THINK LIKE US,

THEN THEY DO NOT BELONG.,

HE WILL SURELY LIVE AND DIE

HERE IN HIS DEEP DARK LIFE.

NEVER WILL HE SEE THE BEAUTY

ABOVE HIS BOUNDARY LINE.

AS THEY WENT ALONG THEIR WAY,

A DOLPHIN CAUGHT A GLIMPSE

OF THEM AS HE WAS ON HIS WAY

TO PRACTICE HIS GREAT FLIPS.

AND THE DOLPHIN THOUGHT OUT LOUD.....

WHAT CLUMSY LITTLE CRABS!

I HEAR THEIR SO UNSKILLED!

THEY WILL NEVER HAVE THE TALENTS

THAT BRIING APPLAUSE AND THRILL!

SWIMMING IN THEIR LITTLE WORLD,

THEY SHALL LIVE AND DIE.

SUCH EXCITEMENT THEY WILL MISS

WITHIN THEIR BOUNDARY LINES.

THEN THE DOLPHIN JUMPED SO HIGH,

ABOVE THE WATERS OF THE SEA!

A YOUNG MAN ON A FISHING BOAT,

JUMPED QUICKLY TO HIS FEET!

HE YELLED OUT TO HIS CREW

AND HOPED THAT ONCE AGAIN,

THE DOLPHIN WOULD EMERGE IN FLIPS

SO HE COULD SHOW HIS FRIENDS!

COME LOOK AT THIS YOU GUYS!

I THINK THIS DOLPHIN KNOWS

THAT I AM WATCHING HIM,

AS HE DOES HIS TRICKS FOR SHOW!

THAT IS ONE SMART FISH!

DO YOU THINK THAT HE COULD GO

BACK TO SHORE WITH US

AND LEARN THE THINGS WE KNOW?

THIS OCEAN IS HIS HOME

WHERE ONE DAY HE WILL DIE

HE CAN NEVER WALK OUR BEACH

ACROSS HIS BOUNDARY LINE.

NOW IT WAS GETTING LATE,

AS THE BOAT HEADED BACK TO SHORE.

WATCHING FROM ABOVE

AN EAGLE THOUGHT AS HE SOARED.......
