It was a cold morning by the beach. Totoy and some of his friends were walking
along the shore. Their small feet dug small holes in the sand as they walked. Totoy
noticed something moving in one of the holes. Looking closely, it was a tiny crab
trembling in the cold. “Sorry, little crab. Go, get yourself warmer deep into your haven,”
said Toto
