Reading Notes :The Crab and the Crane

The Crab and the Crane

Ellen C. Babbitt

Enviorment -dry, no rain

All animals suffered
--fish suffered most

Crane - main character

Crane wants to help fish??
-why
-seems like a scam

Fish  call a bluff

Crane takes a trusted fish to see the oasis

All the fish wanted to go after hearing about the pond

The crane tool the fish...
One by one
but he didn't take them to the pond...
Took them into the forest and ate them one by one.

Ate all the fish

The crane saw a crab in the pond and wanted to take him to the pond... ie eat him

The crab realized what was happening and cut off the crane's head

So the Crane put the big Fish on his back and started for the deep woods.
