We have watched him grow in the wonderful habitat the kids created for him, moving from shell to shell as he outgrew them. The Cycling Giants alternated weekly as Official Nurturer, refilling his water sponges and food stuffs.
We are very sad to see him go, but we all understand that death is a part of life for all creatures. The children created a fitting farewell ceremony - hints of Catholicism, Paganism, and Spiritualism - and built a beautiful mausoleum from a wooden box.
"You cannot teach a crab to walk straight."
