Once upon a time, there was a horseshoe crab who lived along the shore. He loved to dig burrows in the sand where he could rest and stay cool. But one day, he noticed that the waves were getting stronger and the shore was starting to erode. The horseshoe crab realized that his burrow might soon be washed away. So, he decided to look for a new place to live. He searched high and low, but couldn't find a suitable spot until he came across a rocky shore. The rocks were strong and wouldn't erode easily. The horseshoe crab was overjoyed! He dug a new burrow in the rocks and lived there happily ever after. The End.

Reflections

1. Why did the horseshoe crab have to move from his original home?
2. How did he feel when he found the new place to live?
3. What do you think would have happened if he didn't find a new home?
4. Can you think of any other animals that might have to move because of erosion or weather changes?
